Bentley OnSite: Overview Construction / Engineering / Inspection Solutions from Bentley Civil

What is Bentley OnSite? Bentley OnSite is a software product that connects the “last mile” between the design office and the construction site. There are two main goals: Ensure correct construction in accordance with plans and specifications. Document true as-built conditions, particularly where construction differs from design.

Project design and construction The goal of any construction project is to reshape the world to suit a desired objective. Intelligent design is essential for a project to be effective, in order to achieve the intended goal while balancing other constraints (such as budget, schedule, environment, etc.) But… intelligent design alone does not guarantee effective construction!

The last mile The end result of a design tends to be an assortment of paper documents and electronic files in a variety of formats, each intended to communicate a portion of the design intent. We throw away design intelligence at the point at which it has the most value! SurveyPreliminary Design Final Design Construct

The last mile is painful! What happens when design intelligence is lost? Reverse engineering is required, which is both tedious and error-prone Paper records are cumbersome and unreliable (as they quickly become out-of-date) The risk of making an error skyrockets! Mistakes need to be corrected Rework is expensive, and schedules slip

Connecting the last mile Bentley OnSite allows you to connect your design intelligence in the field, for improving: Stakeout Inspection As-built status and documentation

Bentley OnSite for stakeout Bentley OnSite Stakeout brings a wealth of design content into the field for stakeout. Eliminate reverse engineering Automatically generate stake points and field- based calculations

Bentley OnSite for inspection Bentley OnSite Inspector conveys information from the office to the field, and back again. All field books, specs, drawings, forms, and tables available electronically Graphical construction status (overlaid on design) Automatic as-built documents

Workflow management Bentley OnSite Administrator manages the project, from privileges and preferences to incoming and outgoing data. Security and project administration Design data and field database management Customizable reporting

Built-in flexibility Reports and forms can be automatically generated from the comprehensive history of stakeout and inspection activities, or can be customized for limitless variation. Any combination of data from design and field activity By personnel, date, status, pay item, etc.

Integration with Bentley design The use of Bentley design tools (InRoads, GEOPAK, or MX product families) is not required, but does multiply the advantages. Inheritance of quantities information Direct support for roadway models and DTMs, making it possible to identify design elevation at any X/Y location in the field Other metadata, too – drainage information, alignment data (station equations, gap / overlap, etc.)

Bottom line benefits Less risk. Less time. Less cost. Higher quality! Eliminate reverse-engineering Access the right field information directly Reduce rework Keep accurate digital inspection status at all times Deliver comprehensive as-built documentation
