    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.

    Kilmac goes full Trimble: connected survey workflow lessons for civils teams

    Kilmac has standardised its survey operations on Trimble, buying six SPS720 total stations, six R780 GNSS rovers and six TSC710 data collectors with Siteworks from Sitech to complement its existing on-machine systems. The fully connected Trimble Civil Construction Technology ecosystem, managed through Trimble Business Centre and Works Manager, links office, field and plant for precision earthmoving and reduced rework on multi-phase civils and groundworks. The setup is already deployed on the £76m Clackmannanshire Wellbeing Hub and Lochies school project in Scotland, due to complete in late 2027.

    Workday Learning with Sana: training and safety takeaways for mine operators

    Workday has released Workday Learning, powered by Sana, an AI-native training platform that combines Workday’s existing HR and skills datasets with Sana’s generative tools to personalise learning pathways for mining workforces. The system can auto-generate course content, assessments and microlearning from existing policies, SOPs and technical documents, while tracking role-specific competencies such as equipment operation, safety procedures and regulatory compliance. For mine operators, this offers a way to standardise training across sites, shorten onboarding and keep skills matrices current without manual content development.

    Datamine 2026 software advances: integration and planning gains for mine engineers

    Datamine has released 2026 upgrades across its mining software suite, tightening data flow between exploration, geology, mine planning, laboratory information management and production control. Key advances include deeper integration between Studio RM resource modelling, Studio OP/UG mine design, Fusion LIMS and the Minemax scheduler, plus improved interoperability with fleet management and plant control systems via standardised APIs. For engineers, the changes aim to cut manual data handling in block model updates, short-interval control and grade reconciliation, and to support more consistent multi-mine planning workflows.
