Annual Report 2008 - (Page 24) Bentley Solutions ELECTRIC AND GAS UTILITIES Climate-focused energy policies, green emissions technologies, carbon footprint monitoring, plus the increasing demand for reliable, cost-efficient energy are driving investments in energy, transmission, and distribution infrastructure. Bentley provides engineering design solutions for the construction and refurbishing of utility infrastructure. From 3D substation layout, cable wiring and management, and transmission corridor visualization to distribution design and estimating, Bentley has the solution to design, build, and operate the utility of the future. Our solution utilizes in-network engineering to map, design, and engineer transmission and distribution networks, and to design, build, and maintain substations and power generation plants. Integration with operational systems for dispatch, outage management, work order management, and SCADA is provided to deliver on-demand engineering drawings, maps, and other content through these enterprise systems and their related workflows. SOLUTIONS IN ACTION: GEOSPATIAL & GEOPBS Eandis is an energy provider in Flanders, Belgium that maintains an electricity and a gas distribution network, with 2.4 million electric service connection points and 1.37 million for gas. The company’s in-house map management system, based on Bentley products, organizes and serves up more than 250,000 drawings. The maps are geolocated, meaning any of the company’s 1,000 employees can instantly view plans for a location with a simple click on the system’s interface. All spatial information about the entire network — including cables, pipes, transformers, and more — is stored in Oracle Spatial. Over 90,000 plots are printed per month, and more than 200 field PCs can take advantage of the user interface, even when offline. 2007 BE Award Nominee Eandis Geospatial & Geopbs Belgium 25
