Written by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor

Bentley Systems, Inc., issued its call for submissions to the 2015 Be Inspired Awards program; the deadline for entries is May 31, 2015.

 

The awards, which are selected by independent juries of industry experts, “recognize the extraordinary and innovative work of organizations that help sustain the world’s infrastructure.”

Winning projects showcase advancements through depth of information modeling, for better asset performance and/or breadth of information mobility, for better project performance. The 18 Be Inspired Awards categories cover every aspect of the built environment.

In 2014, a trio of North American rail projects were honored with J.L. Patterson & Associates, Inc., winning the “Innovation in Project Performance” category, Hatch Mott MacDonald winning the “Innovation in Rail and Transit” category and Hanson Professional Services Inc. being named a finalist in the “Innovation in Bridges” category.

All Bentley users are invited to enter their projects in the Be Inspired Awards program, no matter what phase the project is in – preconstruction/conceptual, design, construction or built. The three finalists chosen for each Be Inspired Awards category will win a trip to London to attend, as a guest of Bentley Systems, The Year in Infrastructure 2015 Conference, being held November 3-5 at the Hilton London Metropole in the U.K. The finalists will present their projects in the Be Inspired Awards Finals portion of the conference before the judges, industry thought leaders and more than 100 members of the media gathered for the event comprising of presentations, summits and workshops.

“It’s time once again for our users to review their project achievements over the past year and select the most extraordinary for submission to our 2015 Be Inspired Awards program,” said Chris Barron, Bentley vice president, corporate communications. “The small effort required to nominate a project is a very worthwhile investment – one whose return is unprecedented global recognition for our users’ projects and organizations. Win or lose, every project nominated is acknowledged across the broader infrastructure community with the full support of Bentley’s global marketing team. The project work of finalists gains additional exposure through presentations on a global stage at the Year in Infrastructure Conference in London. And the winners are invited back to that stage to receive their award in front of their peers and other leading executives in the world of infrastructure design, construction and operations, as well as more than 100 journalists from key media outlets. It’s an opportunity not to be missed.”
