With software from Bentley, the municipality increased the spatial data division’s daily productivity twofold. The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City now has instant access to subsur¬face investigation data that supports critical engineering decision-making.

“Bentley’s gINT Professional Plus software is very helpful in managing our centralized geotechnical database, with its streamline processes, and built-in queries and customizable rules,” said Maryam Obaid Almuhairi, director, Spatial Data Division, Town Planning Sector, Abu Dhabi Municipality. “gINT doubled our daily productivity and is supporting critical engineering judgment.”

The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City ensures sustainable devel¬opment and enhances the quality of life for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Since its inception in 1962, the Municipality has implemented projects aimed at establishing modern infrastructure for the city. The Municipality routinely commissions and manages projects where large volumes of data from site investigation and design are archived and accessed by internal and external users.

Using Bentley’s gINT software and Web mapping, the Municipality’s spatial data division developed the geotechnical information management system as a comprehensive geotechnical database, which saves time and reduces costs.
