Featured on RNZ Morning Business News this morning with Jeffrey Halley, testbed continues to gain traction.

The segment focused on a major challenge across large roading and infrastructure projects where engineers can spend hours working through and interpreting large volumes of structural, pavement and geotechnical verification records.

As Jeremy Hughes explained, the purpose of testbed is to help manage risk and reduce manual efforts from half a day down to minutes. “As they’re building the expressway or road, it’s about making sure that the quality is being maintained and, [with testbed], it lets everyone who needs to know be aware of the current situation.”

testbed gives engineers, contractors and asset owners a clearer view of what is happening across a project while construction is underway, making it easier to identify where quality issues may be emerging and act before they become bigger problems.

It is great to see the work getting some national coverage, particularly as we’re already seeing interest in testbed from Australia.

Have a listen beginning at the 3:12 mark.

Jeremy Hughes and Jarred Stent took to the Road Engineering Assn NZ Chapter - REAAA Low Volume Roads stage to explore how infrastructure teams can get more value from the geotechnical and pavement verification records they already collect.

Roading projects generate thousands of test and verification records, covering everything from ground conditions and material testing through to pavement construction and performance. Too often, that information ends up fragmented across handwritten forms, scanned reports, PDFs, spreadsheets and project folders.

testbed brings that evidence together and makes it visible. Teams can see where testing has occurred, what was tested, where failures or inconsistencies are emerging, and whether an issue is isolated or part of a wider pattern across a project or network.

Instead of spending days piecing records together, teams can get to the evidence faster, while there is still time to act, manage risk and make better-informed decisions.

testbed also supports scenario testing, helping asset owners explore the risk trade-offs associated with upfront capital investment, pavement performance and longer-term maintenance.

Helping train Royal New Zealand Navy divers in virtual reality is not your average day at work. Unless you’re Lance Bauerfeind.

Company-X’s Lance Bauerfeind received the Auahatanga - Innovation Award at the Minister of Defence Awards of Excellence to Industry, presented by New Zealand Minister of Defence Chris Penk MP.

This award recognises Lance and the team’s work helping transform how Royal New Zealand Navy divers train using virtual reality.

The immersive multiplayer training system allows Navy divers and instructors to enter a companion diver scenario where instructors can observe performance, correct habits as they occur, and help trainees build preparedness in a safer, controlled environment.

A brilliant example of our team's capabilities in extended reality (XR) and a nod to the ongoing partnership between Company-X and the New Zealand Defence Force.

Thank you to Lieutenant Commander Nick Davey, Programme Manager Maritime Simulation, for the nomination and continued confidence in Company-X.
