Aconex creates close collaboration on Block Island

Deepwater Wind, has selected Aconex to manage project information during the design and construction of the Block Island Wind Farm.

Aconex provides a cloud and mobile collaboration platform for the construction industry. The platform connects owners, contractors and their project teams in the construction, infrastructure, and energy and resources sectors.

Deepwater Wind President Chris van Beek said:
“Design and construction needed to be carefully and closely coordinated. Document control was essential in making sure we delivered the project within budget and on time. Some of the design files that we had to share with contractors were very large. Uploading, transmitting and updating these files on Aconex was very straightforward and efficient. The platform was a great solution for executing design reviews and other complex processes within relatively short time frames.”

Frank Kopas, general manager of the Americas at Aconex added:
“Deepwater Wind has earned a reputation as a leading developer in the emerging U.S. market for offshore wind power. We congratulate them on the successful commissioning of the Block Island Wind Farm, and we look forward to supporting the company with similar projects in the future.”

Block Island wind farm is the first to be installed in U.S waters and with a total capacity of 30MW the project is expected to produce 125,000MWh of electricity per year, enough to meet the electricity demands of up to 17,000 households.
