Managers can quickly redline, annotate, and approve design changes using a specialized markup schema. This eliminates the need for paper-based processes and ensures all comments are captured digitally within the network model.
OpenUtilities is designed to be the "engineering view" of a utility's GIS.
The application is part of the suite and integrates tightly with OpenFlows WaterGEMS , SewerGEMS , and Bentley Map . It provides a rules-based environment where utility designers can plan new infrastructure while ensuring data integrity and regulatory compliance. bentley open utilities powerview
Any changes made in the full engineering design tool (OpenUtilities Designer) are automatically reflected in PowerView, ensuring a single source of truth.

Technical Overview and Capabilities of Bentley OpenUtilities (PowerView)
is a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) and engineering application viewer specifically designed for electric utility networks. It is part of Bentley Systems’ OpenUtilities portfolio, built on the iModel.js and PowerPlatform technologies. PowerView provides a read-only, interactive view of the utility’s spatial and engineering data, enabling informed decision-making without requiring a full engineering license.
OpenUtilities operates as a thick-client desktop application built on top of or Bentley Map . This architecture provides robust CAD (Computer-Aided Design) capabilities combined with GIS (Geographic Information System) topology.
