Bentley iTwin Infrastructure Digital Twin Platform

Bentley Systems, Incorporated is an infrastructure engineering software company headquartered in Exton, Pennsylvania, with European headquarters in Dublin and Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore. With more than 40 years in business, 5,500 colleagues in 42 countries and 42,000 accounts in 189 countries, it serves engineering firms and owner-operators of roads, rail, water, energy, cities and facilities.

iTwin Platform is a collection of APIs, SDKs and cloud services for building infrastructure digital twin applications. It connects and synchronises CAD, BIM and engineering models, reality data such as photos, point clouds, meshes and drone captures, GIS layers, IoT sensor feeds, schedules and enterprise data from Bentley and third-party systems. Capabilities include twin management, visualisation, reality data processing, change tracking, access control and reporting. System integrators and software firms use it to bring their own twin applications to market.

• Twin management: Creates and manages infrastructure digital twins with access control.
• Data synchronisation: Connects CAD, BIM, engineering and enterprise data from Bentley and third-party tools.
• Reality data processing: Handles photos, point clouds, meshes and drone captures.
• Visualisation: Renders large infrastructure models in web and mobile applications.
• Change tracking and reporting: Records model changes and extracts data for analysis.
• Developer resources: Offers open APIs, SDKs, sample apps and MCP servers for AI workflows.

A Vietnamese metro operator can link BIM models, inspection drone captures and sensor data into an operational twin of stations and tunnels. A software integrator can build a city infrastructure twin app for a provincial department on iTwin APIs. A water utility can combine network models and IoT readings to monitor assets.

Developers focus on solving infrastructure problems while the platform handles back-end security, cloud infrastructure and data integration. Engineering, reality, IoT and enterprise data stay synchronised in one twin for real-time insight across design, construction and operations. Bentley reports use by 93% of top engineering firms and 72% of top owners, giving integrators a large installed base to build on.

Governments and owners are moving from BIM deliverables to operational digital twins for roads, metro, water and city infrastructure. Vietnam's large investments in expressways, urban railways and smart cities, together with BIM adoption requirements, create demand for platforms that keep design and operations data connected.
