Case Study: Duke Energy maximizes outage productivity with LoadSpring Solutions

How LoadSpring™ helps Duke Energy Maximize Productivity

Duke Energy, which operates the McGuire Nuclear Station in Huntersville, North Carolina, faces complex planned outage periods that require precise project management, logistics, and timing to safely replace fuel and complete maintenance work. To support these high-stakes outages, Duke Energy relied on LoadSpring Solutions, Inc. and Oracle Primavera hosted in the cloud.

LoadSpring Solutions, Inc. cloud-enabled and supported Primavera through its SpringBoard portal, removing IT concerns so Duke Energy’s team could focus on outage execution and schedule optimization. The solution helped eliminate waste such as patch chasing and troubleshooting locked tables, while enabling better scheduling, resource allocation, and cost control; with outage critical path time valued at about $150,000 per hour, the reduced risk and improved productivity delivered meaningful operational impact.
