TxDOT’s stated vision is to deliver mobility, enable economic
opportunity, and enhance the quality of life for all Texans. In
this spirit, TxDOT has launched their Bridge Digital Delivery
initiative, using Bentley’s OpenBridge software for all new bridge
projects effective June 1, 2022. Their TxDOT Bridge initiative is
part of a larger Digital Delivery initiative that also includes
roads and highways.
The initiative that TxDOT is moving toward comprises the Digital
Delivery of Digital Twin models for bidding and construction
projects using 3D models created during the design process. TxDOT
recognizes how this innovative project delivery provides advantages
over traditional methods. The use of intelligent 3D models enables
better designs to ensure project intent and faster constructability
reviews, reducing change orders and requests for information.
“I would like to express my congratulations and appreciation to
the teams that are carrying forward the vision for 3D Digital Twin
design at TxDOT,” said Jacob Tambunga, director of plan development
with TxDOT. “Tremendous initiatives, like these, will continue to
take much teamwork and skill for successful outcomes. We look
forward to continuing our work with Bentley on bringing Digital
Delivery and a Digital Twin to the State of Texas.”
“We are so impressed with the leadership TxDOT is demonstrating
in Digital Twin delivery. I think this is exactly what our product
leadership at Bentley had in mind, when they set out to build new
tools for transportation projects, and we’re excited to be working
with TxDOT and other DOTs to deliver more with Digital Twin
technology,” said Gus Bergsma, Bentley’s chief revenue officer.
Digital Delivery will help TxDOT project designers to create and
review numerous design alternatives and what-if scenarios. This in
turn allows for better constructability reviews and optimization of
project costs.
Bentley is proud to partner with TxDOT and again, congratulates
TxDOT, as well as initiative leaders Jacob Tambunga and Courtney
Holle, for leading the way in Digital Delivery to improve and
advance infrastructure for the state of Texas.
