Oman company named as finalist in Bentley Systems’ award

Muscat: Bentley Systems Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive software solutions for advancing infrastructure, has announced that an infrastructure project in Oman has been chosen as a finalist in Bentley’s Year in Infrastructure 2018 Awards programme.
The annual awards programme honours the work of Bentley software users, in advancing the design, construction, and operations of infrastructure throughout the world. Twelve independent jury panels of distinguished industry experts selected 57 finalists from 420 nominations submitted by more than 340 organisations.
Oman Gas Company’s asset performance solution for a reliability management project in Al Khuwair, Muscat, Oman, has been selected as a finalist in the Going Digital Advancements in Utilities and Industrial Asset Performance category.
Oman Gas Company transmits and distributes gas to 4.4 million people and most of the area’s key economic industry facilities. To ensure consistent availability of its gas, the company developed a reliability and integrity programme that digitised, automated, and compiled all reliability and integrity data and management tasks into one platform, using Bentley’s AssetWise.
Regarding the nomination, Andy Glyde, Middle East regional director for Bentley Systems, said, “We are pleased to acknowledge and celebrate this project in Oman that is named as a finalist in Bentley’s Year in Infrastructure 2018 Awards programme.
