Case Study: BAM Nuttall improves lookahead planning and manages concrete demand with Aphex

With Aphex, BAM Nuttall navigates the post-COVID "concrete crisis"

BAM Nuttall, a civil engineering contractor, faced significant challenges in planning and coordination across distributed construction sites, a situation exacerbated by post-COVID complexities and worldwide materials shortages. To maintain progress on a major power infrastructure project, they needed a solution to align their teams and supply chain with common goals. The vendor Aphex provided its planning platform to help navigate these constraints.

Using Aphex's "Top Down" configuration, BAM Nuttall distributed master schedule ownership to site teams, driving accountability and collaborative planning. This allowed engineers to identify risks and opportunities, which proved critical during the concrete shortage for sequencing work and keeping batch plants aligned. Aphex empowered the teams to execute more effectively and build continuous learning into their planning cycle.
