In this episode of Engineering Influence, we take a deep dive into Bentley Systems’ evolving partnership with Seequent and what the integration of OpenGround into Bentley’s infrastructure cloud means for the future of geotechnical engineering. Our guests explain how real-time subsurface data sharing is transforming design workflows, enhancing collaboration between field teams and engineers, and laying the groundwork for more robust digital twin capabilities across the entire project lifecycle. The conversation explores the next generation of design automation through innovations such as OpenSite Plus, AI-driven co-pilots, grading optimization tools, and fully automated drawing production. The guests also address critical topics including data governance, security policies, and how cloud-based platforms ensure trust and transparency in an increasingly digital workflow. Together, they paint a clear picture of how these technologies accelerate project delivery, reduce risk, elevate design quality, and make sophisticated engineering tools accessible to firms of every size.
