Pavement renewal software

Brochure

Bentley MXRENEW is an advanced software tool that fits designs onto existing roadway facilities for rehabilitation and reconstruction. It provides a logical sequence of design steps based on traditional methods, making it easy to use with only a minimum of training. MXRENEW can work standalone or alongside the Bentley MXROAD modeling tool.
During road design, Bentley MXRENEW helps you minimize the volume of pavement construction material while still retaining the minimum required thickness of overlay. It lets you define the geometry of a new design and provide details of paving quantities, drawings, and staking-out reports. The project can involve the overlaying of an existing pavement, new design, or a combination of the two.
At its core, Bentley MX uses 3D string modeling technology—a powerful yet concise method of creating 3D surfaces. The MX interoperable database allows engineers to create and annotate 3D project models in the most popular AEC environments or in Windows. MX interoperability means that you can work on the project in one environment, save it, and open it seamlessly in another environment with no data loss.
This allows for maximum productivity of trained staff.

Total Process Management in a Single Design System
MXRENEW provides the tools to manage the entire design process from survey data import into the
design iteration phase, to final scheme working drawings and on to high-quality contract drawings.

Optimize Pavement Design and Quantities to Control Costs
MXRENEW allows you to design pavement layers and optimize their interaction with the existing surface.
Automatic calculation of quantities enables easy analysis of suitability and cost, including regulation and milling. MXRENEW includes the ability to model sidewalk and curb construction details.

Speed and Ease of Use
The intuitive GUI guides you through each individual design process, ensuring speed and ease of use
throughout the entire project cycle.

Improved Safety and Reliability
MXRENEW allows you to achieve best value from existing pavement construction, improving horizontal and vertical profiles, extending design life, and improving safety and reliability.

Design Optimization
The product allows you to automatically optimize your design, maintaining user-defined minimum overlay depths and road cross slope tolerances, and raising or lowering the vertical profile to achieve the best design in terms of material use, ride quality and drainage characteristics.

Vertical Profile Design
Although MXRENEW can optimize your design surface, it gives you the ability to design your own vertical profile. Typically, a designer may choose to create a smooth vertical profile that is similar to the optimized profile, but still adheres to the design standards of the project. Designing your own profile allows it to match the existing ground surface at the start and end of projects and truly design your tie-ins, instead of leaving some uncertainty to these areas.

Scenario Investigation
MXRENEW lets you identify any areas where the difference between the design and the existing surface exceeds a chosen depth. This enables fast identification of overall suitability and likely cost of the design when complete.
