Case Study: Dublin City Council achieves streamlined collaboration and reduced risk with Oracle Aconex

Aconex helps bridge project flow smoothly

Oracle Aconex supported the US$63 million Samuel Beckett Bridge project in Dublin, a high‑profile, complex infrastructure build with a 120‑meter movable span and upgraded approaches. The project team was widely dispersed (architects in Valencia and Zurich, contractors in Rotterdam and Belfast, consultant in London) and struggled with the volume and size of documents—standard email couldn’t cope, creating risk of lost or misplaced correspondence.

Aconex delivered a secure, neutral online platform to manage all drawings, documents and correspondence in one place, with remote viewing, distribution, tracking and automated review/approval workflows. The result was faster data distribution and retrieval, reduced printing and postage costs, mitigated risk of information loss, fewer disputes and delays, and streamlined team communications.
