The awards, which are selected by independent juries of industry experts.
The 18 Be Inspired Awards categories in this comprehensive, global program cover every aspect of the built environment – from innovation in asset performance, building, and construction to innovation in government, land development, mining, offshore, project delivery, and more.
A new category this year is innovation in reality modelling, showcasing projects that demonstrate excellence in reality capture and/or visualisation that solved a specific design, construction, or operations challenge.
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 2016 Conference, being held November 1-3 at the Hilton London Metropole in the UK.
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 this highly interactive event comprising presentations, summits, and workshops.
AECOM technical director, Digital Project Delivery Paul Wilson said: “We were honoured to be recognised at the 2015 Be Inspired Awards for our innovative project delivery work on the Stockholm E4 Bypass – one of the largest civil engineering projects in Sweden.
“The competition for this prestigious award is itself inspiring given the number, quality, and scale of the projects nominated. As an integral part of Bentley’s Year in Infrastructure Conference, the awards showcase some of the sector’s most pioneering projects and provide valuable insight into innovative technology in use. We look forward to participating in the 2016 event.”
