Bentley OnSite Overview & Update

Bentley OnSite Modules

• Administrator– Preferences– Project Builder– Data Reporting– Asbuilt Data to DGN

• Client – Analysis of Original Designs– Stakeout– Inspection– Quantities measurement for contractor payments– Final as-built surveys

Bentley’s OnSite Goals

• Eliminate Reverse Engineering

• In-field data access

• On-site Location assistance

• Design intelligence in the field

Who can use Bentley Onsite?

• Construction Inspectors

• Construction Layout Crews

• Surveyors and Engineers

• Operation and Maintenance Firms

• Geotechnical Firms

• Land Developers

• Municipalities

So What Does It Require?

• No CAD is required

• No pre-requisite Engineering Applications, such as GEOPAK, InRoads, or MX

• Viewing, Calculations, and Reporting are self contained

• Populate data from LandXML files or from GEOPAK, InRoads or MX designs

• Training time is minimal

What Does It Support?

• Mapping Systems and Geoids

• Spin/calibrate into local control

• Work in Ground or Grid design systems

• CORS/VRS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations)

• Manual mode, GPS, Laser Ranger Finder, Total Station (limited)

• Schematic mode

Bentley OnSite Administrator

• PC application

• Manages system environment

• Creates and Edits Design Archives

• Transfers both Design Archives and As-Built Databases back and forth between PC and Handhelds

• Merging and redistribution of Field Project Databases

• Generates .dgn “as-built”

• Extensive reports

Bentley OnSite (Client)• Utilizes Quantity Manager Data if present

• Provides comprehensive field notes– Pictures– Sound Bites– Sketches with Handwriting Recognition

• Provides direct access to Specifications

• Works Geospatially or Schematically

Hardware Options

• Office PC or Laptop – XP operating system

• Tablet PC (Best)– Tablet PC or XP operating system

• Ultra Mobile PC (Best)– Tablet PC or XP operating system

• Hand Held PDA (Usable)– Windows Mobile

• Mobile Phone (Stretch)– Windows Mobile

So How Does It Work???
