Bentley Systems launches ConstructHelix for better digitalisation

05 Jul 2022 CW Team

Bentley Acceleration Initiatives, the internal incubator for the strategic investments of infrastructure engineering software company Bentley Systems, has started a digital construction technology solutions group that caters to the unique and specific needs of the Indian construction sector. Called ConstructHelix, its focus is to digitalise construction project workflows through SaaS solutions, enabling a connected data environment with seamless information flow across people and technologies.

As the Indian construction industry enters the age of digitalisation, ConstructHelix will help deliver construction projects on time and within the budget.

In April 2021, Bentley Acceleration Initiatives acquired nPulse, an innovative technology product for the Indian construction sector that forms the core offering of the new digital construction technology solutions group. The acquisition focuses on a new direction and vision to build an ecosystem of products to support digital workflows, automating manual processes and disparate technologies.

Rather than adopting a model-centric approach, Bentley Systems feels this geography would be better served with a schedule-centric approach that integrates time and cost. All other information sources are attached to the schedule and, as users evolve their business processes to manage design projects in 3D and manage the projects in a virtual 4D/5D environment, the solution is ready to adapt to their needs.
