Case Study: Cook Engineering achieves improved efficiency and reduced risk with Oracle Aconex

Cook Engineering manages mine expansion project with Aconex

Cook Engineering (now part of WSP Canada) used Oracle Aconex to manage the US$2.8 billion Rocanville Potash Mine Expansion in Saskatchewan, a complex project that required sinking a new shaft nearly a kilometre underground. The work involved a large, multi-organization team with strict regulatory requirements, tight schedules and financial pressure to hand the project over to operations on time.

Using Aconex’s central, web-based platform for drawings, documents and correspondence gave the team a neutral, collaborative place to store, exchange and automate document control with real-time access and versioning. The result was improved efficiency and faster document access, reduced risk of lost or deleted files, a permanent audit trail to mitigate disputes, and greater accountability and transparency across the project team.
