Crane Safety Compliance: Lessons from a Melbourne Crane Collapse
A Melbourne crane collapse exposes gaps in crane safety compliance. See how FlexManager tracks asset inspections and safety overrides in real time.
Last week, we had the opportunity to exhibit at the 2026 Institute of Asphalt Technology (IAT) Ireland Seminar at the Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone. This event brought together industry experts to explore the latest innovations in asphalt technology, sustainable infrastructure, and pavement management.
We were proud to showcase how FlexManager can work with organisations across infrastructure sectors, from road maintenance to construction, to achieve greater operational efficiency, better equipment oversight, and stronger overall compliance. It was an incredible experience to connect with our clients, and establish new connections with attendees and exhibitors alike.
Sessions covered key topics, such as sustainability, robotics in pavement surveys, and low carbon asphalt solutions. The seminar highlighted the importance of smart, data-driven management for long-lasting infrastructure. A particular highlight was connecting with attendees to discuss how digital tools like FlexManager can support these goals through real-time asset tracking, inspections, and maintenance workflows.
We would like to thank the organisers for hosting a great event. This conference kickstarted our conference circuit, and we cannot wait for the next one!Â
