Case Study: Odebrecht USA achieves completion of $640M hydroelectric project six months ahead of schedule with McLaren Software’s Collaboration Workspace

Hydroelectric power station in Brazil’s Tocantins Basin

Odebrecht Group, a global construction leader, led a consortium to build a 450 MW, $640 million hydroelectric power station in Brazil’s Tocantins Basin. The three-year project required coordinating 200+ professionals across multiple organisations, managing more than 2,000 documents per month in many file formats, and enforcing strict deadlines to avoid costly delay penalties.

Odebrecht deployed McLaren Collaboration Workspace, a SaaS content- and process-management platform that enabled viewing 250+ file types without native applications, enforced workflows, and provided global access and audit trails. The solution cut document delays and rework, saved about $5,000/month in transmittal and printing costs, improved security and visibility, and helped the team complete the project six months ahead of schedule.
