Bentley Publishes Digital and Print Versions of ‘The Year in Infrastructure 2008’
Bentley Systems, Incorporated announced that “The Year in Infrastructure 2008” is available in digital and print versions. This 192-page yearbook highlights the work of Bentley users improving the world’s infrastructure and the quality of life for us all. It features descriptions and color illustrations of the more than 250 project nominations recognized and 23 winners honored in the professional and academic portions of the 2008 Be Awards of Excellence competition. New this year are two categories – “Sustaining Our Society” and “Sustaining Our Environment” – that emphasize the world’s ever-increasing sustainability challenges.
Jay McGraw, group publisher, McGraw-Hill Construction, which sponsors the Be Awards of Excellence ceremony, said, “Bentley’s ‘Year in Infrastructure 2008’ is an exceptional, professionally crafted publication that focuses on exciting infrastructure projects in developed and developing economies. It is a must-read for the entire community of infrastructure professionals.”
CEO Greg Bentley added, “With our project yearbook, we proudly celebrate our users’ outstanding achievements in infrastructure design, engineering, construction, and operations. ‘The Year in Infrastructure 2008’ serves both to recognize projects nominated for Be Awards of Excellence and, increasingly, to share with those outside the infrastructure professions the excitement and inspiration we get – along with better-performing projects and infrastructure – from applying information technology innovations in particular.”
Mr. Bentley continued, “An aspiration we have is to help recruit the next generation of infrastructure professionals among students who enjoy working creatively with computers and who want to be able to improve the world through their work. For this purpose, we widely distribute hundreds of thousands of infrastructure yearbooks and work hard to promote their circulation.”
