The new web-based software, developed by The Commercial Applications Company with and for London Bridge Associates (LBA), will ensure lights stay on in the capital city.
In 2010, Costain had bagged a £220m contract to build the new high-voltage cable tunnels between Hackney and Willesden, and Kensal Green and Wimbledon.
TIM will help in making this tunnel project a success by providing real-time quality information and allowing the site team to make production management and maintenance decisions accurately.
Costain project manager Andrew Firth noted that gathering and analysis of high quality data would provide the foundation for improving operational performance.
"Using TIM allows us to keep on top of what we are doing by highlighting areas for continuous improvement," Firth added.
The web-based software uses the data to create reports on progress, delay analysis, quality, geology, consumables usage and key performance indicators.
Commenting on TIM, National Grid capital delivery senior project manager John Trounson said, "In providing real time information, the TIM system is an essential tool in identifying operational constraints which can help us to improve in both these areas whilst providing a contemporary record of the tunnel drives."
