Case Study: Hanford Site achieves operational excellence, compliance, and enhanced DOE oversight with DevonWay CAS

The Hanford-DevonWay sitewide system promotes compliance and safety for DOE and contractors

Hanford Site, the largest U.S. nuclear cleanup site, faced a complex contractor assurance challenge: multiple prime contractors and subcontractors operate under DOE oversight requirements (DOE P 226.1B/Order DOE 226.1B) that demand secure data sharing, clear metrics, and accountable workflows for safety, quality, and regulatory compliance. To address this, Hanford Site turned to DevonWay and its DevonWay CAS (Contractor Assurance System) software.

DevonWay implemented a sitewide DevonWay CAS platform as a single source of truth that lets each contractor control data and configure workflows while enforcing record-level access (including OUO and UCNI) for authorized DOE and contractor users. The solution added mobile observation apps (rolled out in 2021), automated condition‑report review and resolution, and direct DOE system access (eliminating record‑request delays), yielding improved operational excellence, stronger compliance and safety oversight, faster issue reporting, and more timely follow-up across the Hanford complex.
