Tata uses Bentley software to build Jain SRM Ashram

Tata Consulting Engineers use Bentley Systems to design the infrastructure of Jain SRM Ashram, a spiritual healing centre in Dharampur, India.

Faced with a challenging site of varying steep terrain slopes, Tata Consulting used 3D terrain models to assist in decisions for land use planning and detailed design of the INR 1.8bn international headquarters and ashram.

Tata used Bentley software to create concept level “optioneering” alternatives, to develop schematic level design, and to complete detailed design. Advanced 3D modelling and project collaboration were essential in reducing project costs and time.

The team also had to plan for considerable pedestrian traffic of up to 8,000 visitors per day. Tata Consulting Engineers used Bentley’s MicroStation, Bentley Map, GEOPAK, InRoads, MXROAD, STAAD, and Haestad products which helped reduce the cost of project delivery. Tata also used the solution to perform cost-benefit analyses to arrive at the best design to minimise maintenance and ensure efficient operation.
