    Global’s majority stake in Prism: project controls implications for engineers

    Global’s majority stake in Prism: project controls implications for engineers

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    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.

    Technical Brief

    • Acquisition gives Global direct access to Prism’s in-house 40-person project controls and software team.
    • Prism Apps is already embedded across multiple energy operators, implying existing integrations with complex asset project portfolios.
    • Consultancy scope spans full project controls lifecycle: schedule development, cost estimating, risk quantification and ongoing performance tracking.
    • Aberdeen base positions Prism close to North Sea energy projects, including offshore and subsea construction supply chains.
    • Retention of founder Andy Sutherland reduces integration risk for live project controls deployments and data continuity.
    • Global’s capital injection is earmarked for technology evolution, indicating planned feature expansion rather than simple maintenance.
    • Target sectors such as nuclear and defence suggest future alignment with higher-assurance standards and more stringent audit trails.

    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.
