Case Study: Skanska achieves faster, more efficient digital workflows with Bluebeam Software, Inc.

Skanska Embraces Digital Tools for the World’s Most Powerful Neutron Source

Skanska, one of the world’s leading construction firms, is delivering the European Spallation Source (ESS) research facility in Lund — a half‑billion‑dollar, highly complex project with roughly 800 people working on site. The core challenge was coordinating geographically dispersed teams, closing a digital skills gap and avoiding costly delays or construction errors by modernizing workflows and improving real‑time communication.

Skanska deployed Bluebeam Revu and Studio to about 5,000 users in Sweden, providing mobile on‑site markups, standardized yet customizable toolsets, Batch Link navigation and a Markups List for clear accountability. The outcome: faster design reviews and issue resolution, less paper and rework, measurable time savings, improved productivity and employee engagement, and stronger capacity to recruit and retain talent while future‑proofing large projects like ESS.
