Case Study: Costain improves coordination and visibility across 25 projects with Aphex

Costain manages 25 projects with Aphex

Costain, a major infrastructure contractor, faced significant coordination challenges while managing 25 concurrent water treatment projects for Thames Water. With design, procurement, and construction teams operating in silos, they lacked a single source of truth, leading to delays and missed start dates. To overcome this, Costain partnered with Aphex to gain visibility across the entire pre-construction and construction lifecycle.

By implementing the Aphex platform, Costain extended its proven weekly planning discipline from construction into the design and procurement phases. This provided a unified system for tracking progress, capturing delay reasons, and sharing live data across all projects and with the client. The results included systematic performance tracking across the entire £2 billion framework, stronger client relationships through radical transparency, and dramatically improved cross-phase coordination, leading to more predictable and reliable delivery.
