    GBM Konect field management in Bendigo: practical lessons for asset engineers

    GBM Konect field management in Bendigo: practical lessons for asset engineers

    First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)

    30 Second Briefing

    City of Bendigo’s Coordinator GIS & Asset Information, Paul Nicholson, is deploying GBM Konect, a mobile field management app, to overhaul how road and drainage assets are captured and maintained in the field. Konect’s flexible data model allows crews to map linear assets, attach photos and condition data offline, and sync directly to the council’s central GIS rather than relying on point-only, office-based systems. For civil and asset engineers, this means faster defect logging, fewer data transcription errors, and more reliable spatial information for pavement and drainage renewal planning.

    Technical Brief

    • Konect was selected after benchmarking “a few different systems” for GIS field data capture flexibility.
    • Similar councils with dispersed road networks and legacy GIS can replicate this approach without replacing core systems.

    Our Take

    With only a handful of Software stories in our coverage, GBM Konect’s field management focus stands out against a portfolio that is otherwise dominated by physical project delivery rather than digital tooling.

    Most of the 71 tag-matched ‘Projects’ pieces centre on construction and infrastructure outcomes in Australia, so a software-led case involving the City of Bendigo signals that local councils are becoming early adopters of structured field-data platforms rather than relying solely on contractors’ systems.

    Featuring a named practitioner like Paul Nicholson alongside GBM Konect aligns with a pattern in our database where software uptake in Australian infrastructure is driven less by central IT and more by project managers seeking auditability and real-time visibility on dispersed worksites.

    GBM Konect at Banyule City Council: asset data lessons for civil engineers

    GBM Konect is now the core field data and asset management platform for Banyule City Council in Melbourne’s north-east, supporting service delivery across more than 20 suburbs and a population above 130,000. The cloud-based, location-aware system lets crews capture condition data, photos and GPS coordinates in real time for roads, paths, drainage and open space assets, replacing paper workflows. Engineers gain a single geospatial view of assets and maintenance history, improving defect prioritisation, scheduling and compliance reporting without bespoke in-house GIS development.

    ALLMI Proximity to Slopes tool: stability planning notes for crane engineers

    Proximity to Slopes, a new calculator in the Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers & Importers (ALLMI) app, now quantifies safe stabiliser leg positions for loader cranes working beside embankments. Users input mat width, horizontal distance from the crane base to the crest, and slope height; the tool then defines a “danger area” where stabilisers must not be placed to avoid loss of stability. For temporary works and lift planners, this offers a quick, standardised check when siting cranes on or near cuttings, bunds and roadside batters.

    From big ideas to delivery: immersive digital twins for project teams

    Infrastructure designers are increasingly turning to immersive digital twins and extended reality (XR) to close the gap between CAD abstractions and real-world performance, moving beyond static 2D and 3D screens. By integrating live sensor data, construction sequencing and asset operation scenarios into interactive models, project teams can virtually walk through stations, tunnels or bridges, test maintainability clearances and rehearse complex lifts before site work. This shift demands new workflows, with geotechnical, structural and M&E inputs federated in real time rather than exchanged as periodic drawing sets.
