When the cost of dredging 20 million cubic meters is calculated on type and volume of materials – and on
whether it is above or below sea level – you need accuracy you can rely on. The $5.5 billion Panama Canal
widening project consists of more than 10 different types of material and methods of removal. Jan De Nul used
Bentley’s geotechnical software to store and analyze geological data and used our road design software to build
3D models of the material profiles that were also used for machine control.
For more than 25 years, global engineering firms, transportation agencies, and municipalities have depended on
Bentley to design and build the world’s most innovative projects. You can too.
