Construcciones Yamaro: Bentley Systems and Google collaborate on geospatial solutions
Bentley Systems (Bentley) has formed a strategic partnership with Google to integrate Google’s high-quality geospatial content with its infrastructure engineering software and digital twin platform. This collaboration aims to enhance the design, construction, and management of infrastructure by providing real-world geospatial context and immersive 3D capabilities.
Digital twins, which offer a digital representation of physical infrastructure, unlock valuable insights throughout the lifecycle of projects – from planning and design to construction and asset operation.
By combining Bentley’s engineering data with Google’s geospatial data, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud technologies, engineers can design and manage infrastructure at scale and in context, addressing today’s most pressing challenges, such as mitigating climate risk and maintaining ageing infrastructure.
As part of this partnership, Bentley software users can now access Google Maps Platform’s geospatial content, including Photorealistic 3D Tiles, enabling more immersive 3D experiences in digital workflows.

Highlighting the significance of the partnership, Bentley CEO Nicholas Cumins said, “By combining Google’s extensive geospatial content and cloud capabilities with Bentley’s infrastructure engineering software and digital twin platform, infrastructure professionals can improve their work and ensure projects and assets are created and operated with greater resilience and sustainability.”
“This partnership demonstrates how open standards, such as 3D Tiles, can help infrastructure professionals evolve their practices by leveraging the power of geospatial context.”
The partnership also complements Bentley’s recent acquisition of Cesium, the foundational open platform for creating powerful 3D geospatial applications. Cesium is the creator of the 3D Tiles open standard used by Google. Additionally, Bentley is collaborating with Google Cloud to provide AI-driven asset analytics.
Chris Phillips, vice president and general manager of Geo at Google, added, “Photorealistic 3D Tiles in Google Maps Platform power breathtaking immersive experiences and can transform workflows for architects, engineers, and urban planners. We’re excited to partner with Bentley to bring powerful geospatial context and capabilities that can dramatically improve how infrastructure is designed, built, and operated with data.”
