Caprivi Solutions has released CapEx360® for Mining, a capital governance platform designed to manage multi-site, life-of-mine portfolios from initial business case and AFE approval through to execution and post-investment review. The system provides a single governed environment for tracking project execution, managing rolling forecasts and capturing actuals against budget across multiple assets. For mine owners, the tool targets tighter control of sustaining and growth capital, more consistent stage-gate decisions and improved visibility of capital performance over the full asset lifecycle.

Global has acquired a controlling stake in Aberdeen-based Prism, a 40-strong project management and controls specialist best known for its Prism Apps software used widely across the energy sector. The deal will fund further development of Prism Apps and expansion of consultancy services in planning, estimating and risk management into renewables, infrastructure, data centres, nuclear, utilities and defence. Founder Andy Sutherland and his existing management team will remain in place, signalling continuity for current users and ongoing support for live project controls deployments.

McLaren Construction will deploy FieldAI autonomous quadruped robots on UK sites to run regular 360° scans, generate point clouds and carry out progress verification, model-to-site deviation checks, safety patrols and quality assurance. FieldAI’s “Field Foundation Models” combine data-driven AI, physics-based reasoning and uncertainty quantification, allowing robots to navigate stairs, doors and changing site layouts without prior maps, fixed routes or supporting infrastructure. Automated deviation analysis between scans and design models is expected to tighten tolerance control, catch installation errors earlier and cut rework, while meeting UK regulatory and data security requirements.
