    GBM Konect in Bendigo: integrated road asset data and planning lessons for engineers

    GBM Konect in Bendigo: integrated road asset data and planning lessons for engineers

    First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)

    30 Second Briefing

    Road maintenance planning in the City of Bendigo has been overhauled using GBM Konect integrated directly with the council’s asset management system, linking live field data from graders, patching trucks and concreting crews to central asset records. Crews now capture condition data, photos and completed works on mobile devices in real time, feeding GIS-based maps that prioritise pavement interventions and reduce duplicated site visits. For contractors and councils, the approach shows how tighter integration between field data capture and asset registers can sharpen programming of resurfacing and rehabilitation works.

    Technical Brief

    • Similar Konect–asset system integrations could extend to kerbs, drainage pits and footpaths using the same data model.

    Our Take

    GBM Konect appears in only a handful of our Software-category items compared with larger enterprise platforms, so the City of Bendigo deployment signals the product is starting to win reference sites in Australian local government rather than just niche engineering users.

    Because this is tagged as both Product and Projects, it suggests Konect is being framed not just as a GIS tool but as a full project-delivery platform for municipal road and drainage works, which can influence how councils structure contracts and data standards with civil contractors.

    Among the several Software stories in our coverage, very few are tied so explicitly to a single council like the City of Bendigo, which means performance and user feedback from this roll-out will likely be watched closely by other Australian municipalities considering similar mobile field management systems.

    AI adoption in construction: Rics privacy and security findings for project teams

    Rising concern among construction professionals over data privacy and cyber security is slowing adoption of artificial intelligence tools, according to a new Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) report. Respondents cited risks around sharing commercially sensitive project data from BIM models and cost plans with cloud-based AI platforms, and uncertainty over where training data is stored and processed. The findings signal that AI deployment on live projects, including for quantity take-off automation and programme optimisation, may stall without clearer contractual, regulatory and data-governance frameworks.

    Trimble SketchUp Pro Civil Contractor: 3D earthworks workflows explained for site engineers

    Trimble has released SketchUp Pro Civil Contractor, linking Trimble SketchUp directly with Trimble Siteworks and the Trimble Earthworks grade control platform to create a single 3D earthworks model from design through layout, machine guidance and verification. The tool targets contractors handling grading, excavation and utilities who lack traditional 3D CAD skills, offering a faster way to generate field-ready models for dozers, excavators and survey kits. Streamlined data exchange between design, surveying and earthmoving is intended to cut rework, reduce downtime and improve positional accuracy on site.

    Deswik’s new Almaty office: mine planning support gains for Central Asia engineers

    Deswik has opened a new office in Almaty, Kazakhstan, expanding its in‑country team to support mine planning and scheduling customers across Central Asia. The enlarged local staff, led by Territory Manager Zhanash Sultanova and experienced mining specialists, will deliver on-site implementation, training and troubleshooting for Deswik’s software suite. For regional operators, this should reduce reliance on remote support and shorten turnaround times for complex tasks such as multi-pit scheduling, haulage simulation and detailed drill‑and‑blast design.
