Project Types We Cover
Energy transition and decarbonisation — electrification of heat, hydrogen, CCUS, biomethane, synthetic fuels, green ammonia, HVO and SAF production
Power generation, grid and storage — CCGT, nuclear-adjacent balance-of-plant, renewable generation, BESS, grid-interconnection, flexibility platforms
Oil, gas, LNG and petrochemical — upstream, midstream, downstream, LNG regasification and liquefaction, petrochemical FEED and revamp
Chemicals, specialty and pharma — fine chemicals, API, biologics, sterile and GMP-regulated fill-finish
Metals, minerals and industrial materials — steel, aluminium, battery-materials, rare-earth processing, cement decarbonisation
Water, wastewater and desalination — municipal and industrial water, reuse, SWRO desalination, process-water treatment
Transport and mobility infrastructure — EV charging at scale, hydrogen refuelling, rail electrification, port electrification
Industrial real estate and giga-projects — battery gigafactories, semiconductor fabs, sovereign industrial programmes
Refurbishment, revamp, debottlenecking and life-extension — often where the highest-ROI engineering advisory is delivered
Feasibility, Concept & Pre-FEED
- Project-definition readiness review: scope, envelope, site constraints, regulatory boundary, commercial hypothesis
- Technology-selection advisory, vendor-neutral, across process, mechanical, electrical, and control disciplines
- Pre-FEED engineering: mass and energy balances, block-flow architecture, site layout studies, high-level capex estimation
- Permit and consent strategy; early stakeholder, regulator, and community-engagement mapping
- Climate-risk and site-condition assessment; water, grid, and logistics constraint mapping
- Decarbonisation-pathway feasibility where the project is an energy-transition or emissions-reduction programme
- Investment-grade feasibility report suitable for shareholder approval, FID preparation, or financing solicitation
Front-End Engineering Design (FEED)
- FEED contractor selection, scope-of-work drafting, and technical-proposal evaluation
- FEED-phase engineering oversight: PFDs, P&IDs, heat and material balances, equipment lists, instrument index, electrical single-line diagrams, cause-and-effect matrices
- FEED quality review against independent benchmarks: accuracy bounds, scope completeness, interface clarity, constructability
- Plot-plan and layout review: spacing, hazardous-area classification, maintenance access, future-expansion provision
- Hazardous-area classification (IEC 60079 / NEC / ATEX) review
- Capex estimation independent review (AACE Class 3 to Class 2 validation)
- Schedule realism review — construction sequencing, critical-path assumptions, commissioning allowance
Process Safety & HAZOP
- HAZOP facilitation and chair: IEC 61882-compliant, senior-led, independently documented
- LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) determination
- SIL verification aligned with IEC 61511 for process industries, IEC 61508 for general functional safety
- HAZID, What-If analysis, FMEA, and bowtie-analysis facilitation as the project phase warrants
- Inherent safety review — the discipline most programmes underinvest in, at FEED stage where it is cheapest to act
- Alarm rationalisation and management-of-alarms review against IEC 62682 / ISA 18.2
- Cyber-safety interaction analysis — where OT cybersecurity intersects with functional safety
- Action-tracking discipline: HAZOP actions logged, assigned, tracked, and closed
- Pre-start-up safety review (PSSR) and operational-readiness safety gates
Detailed Engineering Oversight
- EPC contractor's detailed-engineering quality review against FEED and contractual specification
- Interface management: between disciplines; between contractor packages; between owner-furnished and contractor-supplied scope
- Design-change management and contract-change-order review from the owner's side
- Vendor-document review and vendor-print approval from the owner's position
- Engineering hold-points and owner-approval gates — specified, enforced, and documented
