Jay McGraw, group publisher, McGraw-Hill Construction, which sponsors the Be Awards of Excellence ceremony, said, “Bentley’s ‘Year in Infrastructure 2008’ is an exceptional, professionally crafted publication that focuses on exciting infrastructure projects in developed and developing economies. It is a must-read for the entire community of infrastructure professionals.”
CEO Greg Bentley added, “With our project yearbook, we proudly celebrate our users’ outstanding achievements in infrastructure design, engineering, construction, and operations. ‘The Year in Infrastructure 2008’ serves both to recognize projects nominated for Be Awards of Excellence and, increasingly, to share with those outside the infrastructure professions the excitement and inspiration we get – along with better-performing projects and infrastructure – from applying information technology innovations in particular.”
Mr. Bentley continued, “An aspiration we have is to help recruit the next generation of infrastructure professionals among students who enjoy working creatively with computers and who want to be able to improve the world through their work. For this purpose, we widely distribute hundreds of thousands of infrastructure yearbooks and work hard to promote their circulation.”
