The Midland Main Line Electrification (MMLE) Programme is a multidiscipline infrastructure project implemented to increase capacity and provide a full overhead electrified route from London. SPL Powerlines UK was tasked with installing 447 single track kilometers of overhead line along the rail corridor. However, the scheme was divided into eight route sections that SPL needed to manage across a multidiscipline team. Therefore, they needed to ensure that everyone had access to the latest design information. SPL used ProjectWise as the basis for their connected data environment, sending and receiving information from 20 design organizations on the project. They also created an iTwin for further improved visibility of all design data. In just one month, their first-time submission success rose from 41% to 67%, freeing up time to achieve compliance. Because everyone had access to the information that they needed, site walkouts reduced by 94%, ensuring safety while reducing carbon emissions and project costs.
