Reimagining the future of infrastructure: tech, BIM, digital twins and a crystal ball, with John Nolan from Network Rail and Dan Vogen from Bentley Systems
Listen now
Description
Editor of New Civil Engineer Claire Smith is joined by John Nolan from Network Rail and Dan Vogen from Bentley Systems. This month’s podcast takes stock of our technology use right now and reflects on the journey we’ve all been on over the past two years or so. Our panellists get their crystal ball out and speculate on the future too - how can the industry build on rapid change over the past 12 months and what tech might we see being used in the next 5-10 years to advance the sector? John developed the Network Rail BIM Strategy, and Dan is Vice President of Road and Rail Asset Management at Bentley. Together, they discuss the positive impacts of the pandemic and the fast adoption of technology in the sector: what is the role of digital twins in our future ways of working? The Engineers Collective is powered by Bentley Systems. Around the world, engineers and architects, constructors and owner-operators are using Bentley’s software solutions to accelerate project delivery and improve asset performance for transportation infrastructure that sustains our economy and our environment. Together, we are advancing infrastructure. Find out more at www.bentley.com
