A Digital Twin is a dynamic, digital representation of a physical asset, process, or system. In infrastructure engineering, digital twins are revolutionizing how highways, bridges, water plants, and smart cities are designed, operated, and maintained.
By linking real-time IoT sensor data, historical performance logs, and high-fidelity 3D BIM models, digital twins provide operational intelligence. In this blog, we review how Bentley iTwin platform and Autodesk Tandem are helping asset managers reduce lifecycle costs, predict failures, and optimize energy efficiency.
