    GBM Konect field management in Bendigo: practical lessons for asset engineers

    GBM Konect field management in Bendigo: practical lessons for asset engineers

    First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)

    30 Second Briefing

    City of Bendigo’s Coordinator GIS & Asset Information, Paul Nicholson, is deploying GBM Konect, a mobile field management app, to overhaul how road and drainage assets are captured and maintained in the field. Konect’s flexible data model allows crews to map linear assets, attach photos and condition data offline, and sync directly to the council’s central GIS rather than relying on point-only, office-based systems. For civil and asset engineers, this means faster defect logging, fewer data transcription errors, and more reliable spatial information for pavement and drainage renewal planning.

    Technical Brief

    • Konect was selected after benchmarking “a few different systems” for GIS field data capture flexibility.
    • Similar councils with dispersed road networks and legacy GIS can replicate this approach without replacing core systems.

    Our Take

    With only a handful of Software stories in our coverage, GBM Konect’s field management focus stands out against a portfolio that is otherwise dominated by physical project delivery rather than digital tooling.

    Most of the 71 tag-matched ‘Projects’ pieces centre on construction and infrastructure outcomes in Australia, so a software-led case involving the City of Bendigo signals that local councils are becoming early adopters of structured field-data platforms rather than relying solely on contractors’ systems.

    Featuring a named practitioner like Paul Nicholson alongside GBM Konect aligns with a pattern in our database where software uptake in Australian infrastructure is driven less by central IT and more by project managers seeking auditability and real-time visibility on dispersed worksites.

    Emerson’s latest Aspen Mtell: failure prediction gains for mine reliability engineers

    Emerson has released the latest version of its AspenTech Aspen Mtell® Asset Performance Management platform, adding AI-driven failure prediction on top of foundational asset health monitoring for process and mining operations. The update is designed to let operators move from simple condition-based alerts to scalable, model-based prognostics that can detect emerging equipment degradation and predict time-to-failure across critical assets such as mills, crushers and pumps. For mine operators, the key impact is earlier intervention windows, fewer unplanned shutdowns and more stable throughput without major changes to existing control systems.

    Mira Geoscience–HiveMap acquisition: integrated 3D mapping gains for mine engineers

    Mira Geoscience has acquired SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc’s HiveMap platform, a digital geological and geotechnical field mapping system designed for efficient collection, visualisation and interpretation of geoscientific data. HiveMap integrates directly with photogrammetry and LiDAR workflows, allowing structural, lithological and geotechnical observations to be tied to high-resolution 3D surfaces and point clouds. The acquisition signals tighter coupling between field mapping, 3D geomodelling and mine-scale geotechnical analysis within Mira’s existing integrated geoscience software suite.

    DIPS orientation analysis: stereonet workflows and kinematic checks for engineers

    DIPS (Data Integration using Projected Stereonets) is being positioned as the new standard for stereonet-based orientation analysis, building on more than 30 years of use in geotechnical engineering. The software supports detailed structural mapping workflows, allowing engineers to import large orientation datasets and analyse joint sets, foliation, and discontinuity patterns directly on stereonets. For slope stability, underground excavation design, and rock mass characterisation, it enables consistent kinematic checks and data integration across projects, reducing manual plotting and interpretation time.
