Case Study: Drill Tech Drilling & Shoring delivers critical tunnel projects on time with Planera

Drill Tech Delivers Schedule-Critical Tunnel Projects with Planera

Drill Tech Drilling & Shoring, a nationwide geotechnical construction firm, faced immense pressure to deliver two mission-critical tunnel projects with absolute scheduling precision. For the Colgate Tunnel Retrofit, any delay meant significant lost revenue from power generation, while work at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory had to be executed during narrow operational shutdown windows. To manage these high-stakes timelines, Drill Tech turned to the vendor Planera for its CPM scheduling platform.

By implementing Planera's visual and collaborative scheduling software, Drill Tech replaced its previous use of Microsoft Project. The solution provided an intuitive platform that enhanced team collaboration and accuracy, allowing them to integrate input from diverse specialists and subcontractors. This resulted in streamlined project management, mitigated risk of costly overruns, and gave the company the confidence to complete these critical projects on time, protecting both revenue and operational continuity.
