Case Study: Winthrop Engineering achieves streamlined collaboration and improved data security with Viewpoint For Projects

Winthrop Engineering and Contracting Ltd uses Viewpoint on its Data Centre Projects around Europe to share, review and collaborate

Winthrop Engineering and Contracting Ltd, an Ireland‑headquartered mechanical and electrical contractor with €600M turnover and about 750 staff, has evolved into a specialist in mission‑critical and turnkey data‑centre projects across Europe (≈€1B pipeline, ~300 MW IT load). As lead contractor coordinating dispersed design teams and many vendors, Winthrop relied on long email chains and printed transmittals, which produced outdated documents, no transparent audit trail, and cybersecurity and backup vulnerabilities.

Winthrop deployed Viewpoint For Projects as a common data environment, adding automated notifications, centralized approval workflows and granular security permissions. The platform enabled real‑time collaboration (including smoother 3D model coordination), eliminated printed packs, created transparent audit trails, improved scheduling and data security, and saved hundreds of labor hours while helping the company meet key milestones.
