    Hexagon–Rocscience deal: integrated modelling and monitoring for ground engineers

    Hexagon–Rocscience deal: integrated modelling and monitoring for ground engineers

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    Hexagon has acquired Toronto-based modelling specialist Rocscience, integrating its finite element and limit equilibrium tools for slope stability, tunnelling and dam analysis into Hexagon’s radar and monitoring division. The combined platform will link Hexagon’s continuous geotechnical sensors, including radar monitoring of ground movement, directly to Rocscience’s rock and soil behaviour models to auto‑update designs from construction through operations. For infrastructure and mining projects, this enables live calibration of stability models, earlier detection of deformation trends and shorter turnaround on ground‑risk assessments.

    Technical Brief

    • Hexagon is folding Rocscience into its radar and monitoring division within its infrastructure and geospatial business.
    • Rocscience’s toolset explicitly targets slope stability, ground movement, tunnelling and dam performance over asset life.
    • Integration is framed around removing the separation between observation-based responses and model-based design decisions.
    • Continuous sensor feeds are intended to auto-calibrate rock and soil behaviour models without manual data import.
    • Workflow aims to shorten analysis cycles by cutting hand-offs between monitoring teams and design analysts.

    Our Take

    Hexagon’s move to acquire Toronto-based Rocscience extends a pattern in our Software coverage where Hexagon has been building an integrated stack from sensing (Leica RTC scanners, CAS, VIS) through to analytics, now adding core numerical modelling rather than just data capture and visualisation.

    Integrating Rocscience into Hexagon’s Radar & Monitoring Division, as flagged in the 9 October 2026 item, suggests future workflows where deformation monitoring, radar data and geotechnical models are tightly coupled, which could change how consultants and mine operators in Canada, Sweden and the UK specify software for slope and underground stability studies.

    Across the 34 Software stories in our database, Hexagon appears unusually active in safety and monitoring tools (collision avoidance, vehicle intervention, plant safety add‑ons), and adding Rocscience gives it leverage to bundle geotechnical design licences with hardware and monitoring contracts on large mining and civil projects.

    Hexagon–Rocscience integration: model–sensor links and risk takeaways for engineers

    Hexagon AB has agreed to acquire geotechnical analysis specialist Rocscience from TA Associates and the company’s founders, integrating it into Hexagon’s Radar & Monitoring Division within the Infrastructure & Geospatial Business Area. The move targets tighter coupling of slope stability and underground excavation models in Rocscience with real-time data from Hexagon’s radar, GNSS and other deformation monitoring sensors. For mine operators and infrastructure owners, this signals faster feedback loops between numerical models and field measurements for managing geological risk and ground movement.

    MCS telematics hub adds 23 providers: utilisation and CO₂ insights for fleets

    MCS Rental Software has expanded its Telematics Hub to integrate 23 additional providers, including CAT, Manitou, Genie, Skyjack, Niftylift, Wacker Neuson, Jekko, AUSA and Generac Mobile, bringing total connections to 39 for mixed fleets of telehandlers, MEWPs, forklifts, cranes, generators and light towers. Using the MCP (model context protocol) AI standard, fleet managers can query utilisation, fault codes and telematics events in plain English within MCS, instead of logging into multiple OEM portals. The system consolidates fuel burn and run-time data to flag over-usage and generate CO₂ and fuel usage reports to meet legal and sustainability reporting requirements.

    Datamine Expenditure Watch 2.0: compliance and tenure risk notes for project teams

    Datamine has launched Expenditure Watch 2.0, a fully web-based expenditure compliance and reporting platform for mining and exploration companies managing mineral title obligations across multi-tenement portfolios. Originally built for Western Australia’s expenditure reporting rules, the new version is configured to handle multiple jurisdictions and operating environments, centralising tenement spend, work programmes and statutory deadlines. For geology, land and finance teams, this signals tighter control of relinquishment risk and more defensible audit trails on exploration and development expenditure.
