PR - Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced the release of Bentley
Water V8 XM Edition. This comprehensive water distribution design
software helps engineers and GIS professionals in water utilities and
municipalities design, document, and manage potable water distribution
networks more efficiently.
Bentley Water V8 XM provides all the
capabilities of Bentley Map including map management, thematic and
overlay analysis features, business and topological rules enforcement,
and accurate editing. In addition, it allows easy access to enterprise
data to improve the management of the asset lifecycle. Because Bentley
Water V8 XM integrates with Bentley’s
industry-leading Haestad Methods hydraulic modeling and analysis
software, users of WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, and HAMMER can share network
connectivity, maintenance records, and operational data to run hydraulic
simulations of their potable water distribution systems. Bentley Water
V8 XM also interoperates with Bentley Geospatial Server for enterprise
GIS implementation and enterprise collaboration, Bentley PowerMap Field
to support field technicians using offline data, and Bentley Geo Web
Publisher for publishing water infrastructure data to internal and
external websites.
“Bentley continues to lead and innovate with
this latest addition to its comprehensive solution for potable water
networks,” said Olcay Ebcin, GIS manager,
Istanbul Water & Sewerage Administration, which serves a city with a
population of more than 11 million. “As users
of both Bentley Water and WaterGEMS, we welcome Bentley’s
efforts to provide us with a tightly integrated workflow between
hydraulic modeling, asset management, and GIS.”
Commenting on the new software, Jack Cook, Bentley vice president, said, “The
release of Bentley Water V8 XM broadens Bentley’s
support of potable water infrastructure –
from sources to treatment plants, transmission, and distribution
networks, right through to the consumer. It includes the powerful
capabilities of other Bentley mapping, data management, collaboration,
plant design, hydraulic simulation, construction documentation, and
field engineering tools to deliver the industry’s
most comprehensive water solution for investor-owned utilities, civil
engineering consultants, and municipal utilities.”
Bentley Water V8 XM Edition uses geospatial XML Feature Modeling (XFM)
fully. This paradigm shift in the development of GIS applications
empowers users to completely customize functionality and the predefined
schema, as well as to choose from a wide range of persistent data models
including stand-alone DGN, DGN/RDBMS, and Oracle®
Spatial. When used concurrently with Bentley Geospatial Server, Bentley
Water supports simultaneous multiuser editing, optimistic and
pessimistic transactions, and time component features, including
versioning and live or disconnected mode editing, provided by Oracle®.
The XFM environment enables a new set of asset management, water network
maintenance, and operation capabilities. These include smart placement
and network connectivity, configurable isolation tracing and reporting,
dynamic property-based symbology and annotation, and network leak
analysis tools.
