2 2017 USA Energy Infrastructure Report Card What is the Gap? Bentley Systems, Incorporated

3 Recommendations to Improve USA Power Infrastructure Bentley Systems, Incorporated

4 Brownfield Plant Projects Design Challenges Determining as-built conditions Evaluating engineering integrity of existing facility Evaluating and selecting facility expansion alternatives (new design) Coordinating new proposed design with on-site conditions Coordinating progress across teams, offices, and disciplines Bentley Systems, Incorporated

5 Bentley Solving Multi-Discipline Team Collaboration Bentley Systems, Incorporated

6 AGENDA With the digital data integration of design and analysis applications across key engineering disciplines like structural and piping, companies are abandoning traditional paper workflows and managing engineering projects more efficiently and with less risk. Engineering content can be easily managed in a central distributed document management system for handover and operational asset management. Digital data transfer of structural and piping design engineering information and richly integrated design models for asset management Improved 3D Visualization and digital clash detection to avoid costly nonconformances See how integrated design analysis applications are being used to manage ageing assets on brownfield projects Q&A Bentley Systems, Incorporated

7 Brownfield Project: Laser Scan to 3D Modeling to Engineering Analysis for Checking Structural Integrity Bentley Systems, Incorporated

8 Where is Structural Integrity Needed Most? Area $Billions / Year Drinking Water / Sewage 36 Petrochemical 3.7 Oil & Gas 1.4 Pulp & Paper 6.0 Electrical Utilities 6.9 Bridges 8.3 Gas & Liquid Pipelines 7.0 Source: 2002 Report Bentley Systems, Incorporated

9 Brownfield Projects Industry Problem Plant Pipe Racks are failing with increasing downtime leading to significant production losses Corrosion is Everywhere! The Structural Integrity is deteriorating due to age and corrosion Plant has been in operation for over 20 years. Pipe racks are failing due to increased loads. As operations have increased further steel and pipe work has been added. There are no 3D models available for the structure. The only viable solution is As Built capture Bentley Systems, Incorporated
