Stephane Denerolle: Any user can create a task on Fieldwire
8778 Fieldwire is promoting its project management software in Europe, targeting the civil engineering and major construction markets.


More than 200,000 projects already use the package, mainly in the United States and Canada.

Fieldwire connects workers in the field with their counterparts in the office via an easy-to-use mobile application.

The system promotes efficient task management and real-time collaboration, claims the company. Typical users are field engineers and foremen who are able to access latest project plans which are stored and managed on the system.

Users can mark up or add photos or other information to the plans as required. The systems also allows them to track issues and monitor schedules and inspections.

“When Fieldwire is used on a project, any user can create a task and locate it on a plan and assign it,” says Stephane Denerolle, product manager of Fieldwire.

The assignee will then be notified and they can report back on the task via the system. Because the system maintains a copy of relevant data on the user's device, they can continue accessing it even if they go offline.

The system will operate with any web browser and on most mobile devices, says Denerolle.

Fieldwire was founded in San Francisco in 2013 by a team of construction and software engineers from three leading US universities: Stanford, Berkeley and MIT. It is backed by several leading venture capital firms.

    Effective monitoring of aggregates stockpiles as well as face excavation can deliver greater quarrying efficiency. One of the latest innovations in quarrying is the use of drones, which provide major benefits for optimising operations. The use of affordable drone hardware and software solutions can help reduce stockpile inventory time by as much as 70%. Through the recent partnership between Trimble and Propeller, drone data can now be an everyday tool in quarries by proving a transformational impact

    Greater precision is helping blur the boundaries between GIS technology and design software While GIS map based technology has extended its range across an ever more universal spectrum of uses in the highways sector, it is increasingly showing weaknesses for engineering purposes. It is very often not accurate enough. This has not mattered previously because the GIS tool has been seen essentially as an automated version of paper based systems from the design department's point of view. Where engineers

    A new partnership between Bentley Systems and the American Association of Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) looks set to yield significant cost benefits for the US. This move will see AASHTO and Bentley align to extend AASHTO’s Bridge Management software with Bentley’s Inspectech package. As a result, bridge inspection processes in the US will become more efficient, more accurate and also see major budget reductions. CEO Greg Bentley said, “In the US we spend about US$1 billion/year on bridge inspec
