Westbourne Civil Engineering has adopted MA EnviroTech’s MukAway platform to manage surplus materials, source fill, book haulage and generate compliance and carbon data across its road, sewer and groundworks schemes in the north of England, including Riverpark Road in Manchester (498 homes), Fox Wood Garden Village in Knowsley (350 homes) and Half Penny Meadows in Clitheroe (426 homes). MukAway now covers more than 1,000 sites and 100 companies in the UK and Ireland, with 1.4m m³ of material listed. The system offers local surplus–demand matching, the UK’s first direct digital haulage link, and ten‑year retention of Duty of Care and Materials Management Plan records, tightening auditability on bulk earthworks movements.

NavVis has launched the NavVis CLX, an agile handheld reality capture device using dual LiDAR architecture to generate clean, low-noise point clouds for high-volume, day-to-day mine and plant documentation. Positioned to complement the backpack-style NavVis VLX and trolley-based NavVis MLX, the CLX is intended for frequent use by non-specialist staff, putting “professional reality capture in every hand”. For mining engineers and survey teams, this points to wider, lower-cost 3D documentation of underground drives, process plants and brownfield modifications without full survey campaigns.

Workday has launched Workday AI Research, a dedicated technical team to develop reliable, auditable AI models for enterprise HR, finance, and IT workflows used by mining and resources companies. The group will publish methods and evaluation frameworks for areas such as bias detection in workforce analytics, explainable decision support for rostering and payroll, and efficiency gains in large-scale ERP data processing. For mine operators, this signals more rigorous, research-backed AI tools embedded in core systems that govern labour planning, contractor management, and compliance reporting.
