Case Study: Costain achieves faster, risk-led project insights with Nodes & Links

Costain cuts project reporting from 2 hours to 2 minutes with Nodes & Links

Costain, a leading UK infrastructure solutions company, faced a major challenge in managing a fast-paced 45-day nuclear reactor outage project involving over 22,000 activities. Traditional progress tracking tools were too slow, taking hours to generate the daily reports required by the client. This left no time for proactive risk analysis, where a single day of delay could cost millions and result in significant environmental impact. To make data-driven decisions, Costain turned to the vendor Nodes & Links for a solution.

By implementing the Nodes & Links platform, the Costain team could instantly upload their schedule and generate daily reports with key performance indicators and prioritized task lists. This allowed planners to identify risks early and focus on critical activities. The solution saved the team significant time, turning two hours of work into two minutes, and provided insights that were previously impossible to gather. As a result, Nodes & Links enabled Costain to get ahead of risks, save time and money, and deliver a successful project.
