Case Study: SWB AG achieves 30% lower administrative overhead and real-time document control for two cleantech power plants with Oracle Aconex

SWB AG - Customer Case Study

swb, a Bremen-based utility, delivered two cleantech waste-to-energy power plants (first operational in 2009, the second in 2014) that convert non-recyclable waste into renewable energy—230,000 MWh per year to serve 91,000 households and a scalable output up to 444 MW. The projects (valued between US$122.3M and US$500M) faced strict regulatory and corporate quality requirements, complex information exchange with multiple engineering partners, high coordination costs, and delays caused by reliance on email and fax for project administration.

Using Oracle Aconex as a single, real-time platform for all project documents, swb enabled fast, reliable data exchange and automated notifications for information requests and approvals. This ensured up-to-date drawings on site, a permanent audit trail, improved version control that reduced defects and rework, efficient handover of documentation at commissioning, and at least a 30% reduction in administrative overhead.
