Case Study: Nalcor Energy reduces technical document turnaround time by 66% with Oracle Aconex

Nalcor reduces technical document turn around time by 66%

Nalcor Energy, developer of the 824‑MW Lower Churchill Project at Muskrat Falls, Canada, faced remote, plane‑access only construction sites, a 3,100‑person multi‑organization project team, and a legacy document system built for archival rather than real‑time control—creating risk of errors, rework and slow document turnaround.

By deploying a single, centralized Oracle Aconex platform for project information exchange, Nalcor gave all stakeholders immediate access to current and prior document versions, automated workflows and a full audit trail. The result: technical document turnaround improved from 30 days to 10 days (a 66% reduction) for 300,000 documents, transmittal issuance dropped from two days to about one hour, uploads from one day to five minutes, C$2 million saved in IT costs and 112 tons of paper avoided.
