£190m Secondary Steelwork Programme
AI-enabled bid and programme support for a £190m infrastructure project.
Introduction
We supported a contractor delivering secondary steelwork fabrication and installation on a major UK infrastructure programme at Hinckley Point, helping to structure and develop a robust, resource-levelled delivery programme.
Using a combination of AI-supported structuring, expert planning input and technical documentation, we created a programme that clearly demonstrated delivery capability, sequencing and risk visibility.
Result
A highly detailed, 30,000-activity programme with full resource levelling, improving clarity, coordination and confidence across stakeholders.

The challenge
The project required a highly detailed and scalable delivery programme, with:
- Complex scope across 1,100 rooms and 27 buildings
- Up to 30 steelwork elements per room
- Coordination across multiple contractors and stakeholders
- Need for clear visibility of sequencing and access constraints
- Requirement to demonstrate programme credibility and control
The challenge was building a programme that was not just accurate but usable, transparent and aligned across teams.
What we did
- Structured development of a baseline NEC3 Clause 31 programme
- Ongoing updates via Clause 32 programme revisions and 16-week lookaheads
- Coordination across project teams to align sequencing and access
- Development of a fully resource-levelled programme
- Integration of detailed activity planning across all work areas
A complex programme data translated into a clear, coordinated delivery plan.
Key outcomes
- 30,000-activity programme developed and managed
- Full resource levelling to improve delivery visibility
- Clear identification of access constraints and sequencing risks
- Improved coordination across multiple stakeholders
- Programme exceeded client expectations for clarity and usability
Why this matters
This case study shows how structured programme development supports stronger bids and delivery confidence.
For complex infrastructure projects, it helps organisations to:
- Clearly demonstrate delivery capability in tender submissions
- Improve coordination across multiple contractors
- Identify risks and constraints early
- Build confidence with clients and stakeholders
