    TechFest Awards 2025: digital construction trends and tools for project teams

    TechFest Awards 2025: digital construction trends and tools for project teams

    First reported on New Civil Engineer

    30 Second Briefing

    New Civil Engineer and Construction News announced the TechFest Awards 2025 winners at a gala event at the Hilton Metropole in London, recognising digital and technical innovation across UK infrastructure and construction. Although individual project details were not released in the brief announcement, the awards typically cover categories such as digital design workflows, data-driven asset management and offsite or automated construction methods. Practitioners should watch for the full winners’ list to benchmark emerging tools and processes that are gaining traction with major clients and Tier 1 contractors.

    Technical Brief

    • TechFest branding positions the awards specifically around construction and engineering technology deployment, not generic project delivery.
    • Dual-publication backing suggests shortlisted tools and workflows already visible in mainstream UK project coverage.
    • London location facilitates attendance from Tier 1 contractors, major consultants and national infrastructure clients.
    • Public announcement via New Civil Engineer ensures subsequent technical case studies and project write‑ups are likely.
    • For geotechnical and tunnelling teams, shortlisted software often informs upcoming digital standards on major frameworks.

    Our Take

    With only a handful of Software stories in our coverage, a UK-focused event like TechFest Awards 2025 stands out as one of the few structured forums highlighting digital tools rather than physical project delivery.

    London-based industry platforms such as New Civil Engineer and Construction News increasingly act as gatekeepers for construction tech visibility in the United Kingdom, which can materially influence which products gain early adoption on major infrastructure projects.

    Among the 197 tag-matched Product/Projects pieces in our database, most innovation items are tied to specific schemes or contractors, so an awards format centred on boundary-pushing tools signals growing competition for software vendors to demonstrate measurable impact on live UK projects.

    GeoStudio 2025.2: 3D Sweep and scripting upgrades explained for designers

    GeoStudio 2025.2 adds a 3D Sweep Option that extrudes 2D geometries along user-defined paths, enabling faster setup of complex 3D embankments, tunnels and slopes without full re‑meshing. The release upgrades GeoStudio Python scripting with improved object access and automation of batch analyses, and expands language support to Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish. For practitioners, this means quicker parametric studies, easier integration with in‑house workflows, and wider deployment across multinational design teams.

    Revizto on Warringah Freeway Upgrade: coordination lessons for civil teams

    Revizto is being used by Arcadis on the Warringah Freeway Upgrade in New South Wales, one of Australia’s most complex road infrastructure packages, to federate design models and site data into a single digital coordination hub. The cloud-based platform supports clash detection, issue tracking and 3D/2D model viewing across disciplines, enabling designers, constructors and client teams to work off a common data environment in real time. For geotechnical and civil teams, this centralised model management tightens interface control around retaining structures, cut-and-cover works and staging constraints on a heavily trafficked urban corridor.
