Its not just about the tech its about building a community of knowledge

Peter Haddock caught up with Mark Brueton Chief Engineering Surveyor at BAM Nuttall recently at the Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon School in Whitchurch.

He was joined by a team of engineers and surveyors from across the BAM UK & Ireland business who had come to undertake practical learning about the latest technologies and solutions now available.

This included activities like:

- Getting hands-on with a full range of surveying equipment.

- Seeing live demonstrations of 3D machine control and  Xwatch Safety Solutions 3D collision avoidance.

- Learning about the AGTEX Developments earthworks software 

- And getting to experience how VR is changing the industry.

Talking about the two day event, Mark said: "This is all about enhancing skills, safety, and efficiency, helping our engineers tackle everything from the big infrastructure and complex construction projects we work on. From advanced surveying tools to 3D digital models, we’re focused on making sure our teams are equipped to succeed.

Mark added: "By coming together, sharing experiences and learning more about the equipment we already have and are investing in, we can use this experience to deliver the best outcomes for our clients."
