New integration partnership enables seamless data flows across infrastructure and civil engineering projects
Today’s infrastructure projects rely on a wide range of specialist applications—for surveying, 3D machine control, drone surveys, documentation and other project-specific tasks. The key consideration is therefore not simply which software is used, but whether the various systems can communicate reliably with one another.
Against this backdrop, Infrakit Group Oy and SitePlan GmbH have implemented the first integration between their platforms. Photos and survey points can now be synchronised seamlessly between the two systems.
Less manual data transfer
Photos and survey data document construction progress and support coordination between site management, surveyors and other project stakeholders. When this information is managed in separate applications, it often has to be transferred manually, stored in multiple locations or searched for across different systems. This creates additional work and can result in inconsistent data versions.
The new integration makes photos and survey points available on both platforms, eliminating the need to capture the same information again or transfer it manually. Users can continue working in their preferred environment while accessing the same project information.
Open systems for complex project environments
No single provider can cover the entire technology landscape of a construction company or infrastructure project. Design, surveying, machine control, construction execution and documentation each have their own requirements. These are compounded by the systems and specifications imposed by clients, project partners and subcontractors.
Open interfaces provide the foundation for connecting these specialist solutions effectively. This is also becoming increasingly important to project owners, who expect up-to-date, consistent and traceable information that is not locked into individual applications.
The collaboration between Infrakit and SitePlan is based on an open, collaborative and forward-looking approach. Synchronising photos and survey points represents the first tangible step in the integration of the two platforms. Each platform contributes its respective strengths while enabling the seamless exchange of relevant project information. The partnership therefore establishes a robust foundation for further digital collaboration across infrastructure and civil engineering projects.
