Case Study: Ferrovial Laing O'Rourke improves project collaboration and lookahead planning with Aphex

FLO JV use Aphex to improve project collaboration on Thames Tideway

Ferrovial Laing O'Rourke, a joint venture, faced challenges with project collaboration and efficiency on the Albert Embankment portion of the Thames Tideway tunnel project. Their planning team, led by Planner Alex Wellington, relied on siloed spreadsheets to manage a complex, multi-structure lookahead programme, which was time-consuming to consolidate and resulted in communication delays. They implemented Aphex to streamline this planning process.

The Aphex platform provided a centralized, cloud-based system that enabled real-time, collaborative updates to the lookahead programme, dramatically improving on-site communication and saving the team hours each week. The solution allowed for immediate visibility of changes across the entire plan and automatically prompted teams to record reasons for delays, enabling data-driven interventions. Aphex became the essential tool for understanding project tasks, moving the team beyond reliance on word-of-mouth.
