Most infrastructure engineering organizations, having surmounted unimagined challenges, have actually grown their scope and profits during the pandemic. By going digital, they have proved and improved their resilience and are consequently more future-proof. The priority must be to continue and accelerate going digital.
New pandemic-spawned patterns of work and life have substantially disrupted the requirements for infrastructure's fitness for purpose. Coping with unexpected exposures has increased the world's determination to achieve and sustain the adaptation needed for overall economic and environmental resilience. The daunting cost of new infrastructure capacity means this can be effective only at the margins, and hence the priority must be the necessary extension of the useful life of infrastructure assets, with the added imperatives of energy transition and climate threats. Just in time to meet these challenges, further benefits of going digital are at hand and are accelerating, with infrastructure Digital Twin advancements gaining adoption.
Bentley Systems (BSY)'s 2021 Year in Infrastructure (virtual) Conference served to highlight this momentum. The Going Digital Awards reflected independent juries' assessments of the hundreds of infrastructure projects nominated by BSY users globally. The 2021 Infrastructure Yearbook (www.bentley.com/yearbook), presenting all of the nominations, winners, finalists, and founders' honorees, provides an informative and encouraging perspective on advancements towards infrastructure resilience now being enabled by ongoing pandemic-spurred inflections.
Infrastructure Digital Twins require federating together, in Cloud services, each of
digital context, for reality (reflecting 'OT' via operational technologies),
digital components, for veracity (leveraging 'ET' from engineering technologies), and
digital chronology, for fidelity (by virtue of 'IT' comprising information technologies).
In achieving these Digital Twin thresholds, significant and auspicious progress was observable during the pandemic.
