New User Setup
ProjectWise is a document management system licensed by Bentley Systems, Inc. HDR makes ProjectWise available by invitation only. If you are interested in using ProjectWise to collaborate with HDR, please contact your HDR project manager. If ProjectWise is being used for your project, the HDR project manager will be able to submit a request to have a user account created for you. If you already use Bentley software, no additional licensing should be required.
If you already have your login information, continue below to Step 2.
Step 1 – Obtain your account ID and password by contacting your HDR project manager.
You will receive your user account/login information from HDRSP2016@HDRInc.com. Please be sure to add this email address to your safe senders list to avoid any delays in receiving your login information. Once you have login information, there are 2 options for licensing. For those with existing Bentley Software please make sure your HDR contact is aware to avoid double payment of software. For those without a Bentley Software License contact Bentley for a Connections Passport License (1-800-BENTLEY or 1-610-458-5000 and ask for “Sales”). When you have license please make your HDR contact aware. Once licensing is in place please proceed to step 2.
