Bentley Acquires TDV GmbH

Bentley Systems, Incorporated (PA, USA) has acquired TDV GmbH of Austria, a provider of structural modelling, analysis, and design software for bridge engineering serving engineers, designers, and owners since 1970.

TDV’s RM 2006 product for static and dynamic design and analysis of steel, concrete, and composite structures is used by hundreds of bridge design firms worldwide. The software is applicable to the design of virtually all bridge types – from simple segmented bridges to complex cable-stayed and suspension bridges to long crossings – and has been proven on thousands of projects.

“This acquisition exemplifies Bentley’s strategic focus on providing comprehensive software solutions for infrastructure projects,” said Bhupinder Singh, senior vice president, Bentley Software. “RM 2006 adds sophisticated, advanced structural analysis capabilities to Bentley’s market-leading structural design solutions, including our RAM and STAAD product lines, and expands our transportation design portfolio to encompass all elements of a roadway or rail design project.”

By integrating the capabilities of RM 2006 with those of Bentley’s recently acquired BridgeKey software for load analysis rating and heavy-load permitting on existing bridges, as well as its GEOPAK Bridge, InRoads Bridge, Bentley Rebar, Bentley PowerRebar, and other products, Bentley now provides a true end-to-end bridge design and management solution. This opens the door to streamlined workflows and significant productivity improvements for organisations in the roadway and bridge sectors.
