Survey Management Solutions will be showcasing its service offerings and technology-based innovations at Converge 2025, offering an end-to-end solution in underground utility investigation and providing advanced digital mapping deliverables for the construction industry
Survey Management Solutions will be joining exhibitors from across construction and related industries at Converge 2025.
Converge is the only Australian-owned major event showcasing the latest tools and technology in the municipal works, civil and commercial construction space.
From September 17–18, 2025, leading decision makers from these sectors will come together at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre to see the latest developments that will help to build Australia’s future infrastructure.
Through a mixture of live demonstrations, equipment showcases and conference spaces, Converge will be a one-stop-shop for sub-contractors, project engineers, council fleet managers and large-scale construction contractors.
In addition to all this, Converge will be co-located with No-Dig Down Under, the southern hemisphere’s only large-scale conference and exhibition dedicated to trenchless technology.
It’s also a key reason why professional surveying company Survey Management Solutions (SMS) will be exhibiting at Converge.
Survey Management Solutions
SMS has over 15 years’ experience providing solutions for infrastructure and land development projects throughout Victoria, South Australia, Northern NSW and Queensland.
Like Converge, SMS is also a one-stop shop for a variety of construction sectors with services including feature surveying, utility investigation, drones and laser scanning, 3D/4D modelling, clash detection, non-destructive digging and a variety of mapping services.
“We’re just not a surveying company; we’re also a service locating company, because we integrate utility locating and mapping into our services,” SMS subsurface and utility mapping manager Rajat Taneja says.
“Our team identifies underground utilities using industry leading instruments, Ground Penetrating Radar, and Non-Destructive Digging (NDD), ensuring compliance with Australian Standards.
“This data is then converted into 3D models to visualise complex service networks, aiding in design and risk management. Additionally, our Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) certified locators enable precise and safe utility investigations.”
This is a crucial aspect that sets SMS apart – it locates underground utilities to assist consultants and designers with their design for a new road, or water, sewer, electrical or any other underground service.
These asset utility models are utilised by the construction company, which builds according to the design.
Using cutting edge technology and equipment, SMS also works in collaboration with software developers to create custom-designed systems and programs for projects ranging from major road and bridge construction to rail infrastructure and subdivisions work.
Subsurface and utility mapping manager Rajat Taneja says exhibiting at Converge will enable SMS to demonstrate its technology-based solutions, while collaborating with key industry figures and other exhibitors.
“We’ll have the opportunity to speak with key players from different perspectives, from councils and government to civil and other construction companies,” he says.
“There will also be other service providers, especially at the No-Dig Down Under conference.”

Organised in partnership with the Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology (ASTT), No-Dig Down Under has grown over the years to become the second largest no-dig technology event in the world and is now considered a ‘must-attend’ for all industry professionals.
“That’s what appealed to us about converge, it’s not just a construction exhibition, there are also many attendees who will be at No-Dig Down Under,” Taneja says.
“We were drawn by the prospect of shaping the industry’s future together with Converge, No-Dig Down Under, exhibition partners, and the various members of the construction sector you get to interact with.”
Supported by a team of more than 100 professionals, SMS has the capability to manage all aspects of a utility project, from the start to the end, including council and authority permits, preparing traffic management plans to managing on-site traffic control, overhead spotting and conducting site investigations to provide an advance 3D deliverable in 12d and cad drawings. SMS is a one stop shop for everything related to above ground and underground aspects of your project.
Not only does SMS undertake works for various Victorian local councils, consultants and design engineers, but it’s also trusted to work on the state government’s infrastructure projects, such as Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) and the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) Queensland.
In terms of what separates SMS from its competitors, Taneja says the business has continually invested in R&D to create technology-driven solutions that complement conventional locating and surveying methods. By doing so, SMS aims to ensure project efficiencies, by achieving highly accurate data, and identify proposed utility clashes before construction and eliminating expensive service strikes and project setbacks.
Eagerly awaiting Converge, Taneja says he’s looking forward to discussing the challenges facing the municipal works, civil and commercial construction sectors with leading industry figures.
“Converge is a great platform for everyone to come together and discuss ideas, because we’re not just solution providers, we’re also troubleshooters,” he says.
“Our priority is understanding the challenges engineers face to devise appropriate solutions. By doing so, we aim to effectively support them in overcoming their project complexities.
“The event will bring leaders that have years of experience in the construction sector, with a new generation of emerging leaders.”
