Leica has launched a new RTC series of terrestrial 3D laser scanners that combine the speed and on-site registration of the RTC360 with the robustness and higher accuracy of the ScanStation P‑Series, targeting surveying, construction, industrial plants, public safety and infrastructure workflows. Three performance tiers allow users to step up to more demanding scan jobs without replacing their full hardware stack, supporting incremental upgrades across project portfolios. A new Livelink data service, integrated into the Cyclone Field 360 mobile app, streams multi-scanner datasets directly to Hexagon GeoCloud so field, office and cloud models stay synchronised in near real time.

Mark Stuart, joint managing director of Stuart Energy and a specialist in temporary power and equipment hire for construction sites, has joined waste compliance and reuse platform MukAway as a non-executive director. MukAway, which digitises waste movements and reuse documentation for infrastructure and civils projects, is positioning the appointment to support expansion into a wider contractor and plant-hire client base. For geotechnical and civil teams, this signals growing integration between site power logistics, plant fleets and compliant soil and aggregate reuse workflows.

Niftylift has launched MyNifty, a machine-specific online support hub that consolidates manuals, technical documentation, error code lookup, cage overload override reset codes and NiftyPRO video guidance into a single portal. Operators, hire companies and service technicians can access a dedicated page for each model by scanning a QR code on the serial plate or entering the serial number via the Niftylift website, using any mobile device. Most machines in current service already carry QR-coded plates, while older units can be brought into the system through a serial-number QR search tool.
