Owners

Our experienced managers and specialists support you all the way through engineering specification, contract negotiation, construction management and project handover. We are also able to assist you in setting up a local delivery supervision team.

Our Specialized Services

In addition to our in-house electric & civil engineering lead services, we have worked with top specialists in different areas like resource analysis, grid code specialists, procurement executives, legal advisors, construction supervisors. Ultimately, it is people who guarantee the best practices and solutions that create value for your project.

Feasibility studies are part of greenfield project development. They allow early-stage identification and quantification of the business case, as well as the main opportunities and challenges facing the development. Land availability, environmental constraints, grid accessibility, construction challenges, all play a decisive role when permitting a project. Experience saves crucial time.

This service includes:

  • Site Visit
  • Assessment of grid connection possibilities, known environmental constraints, land ownership, and existing infrastructure
  • Proposal of up to 3 different connection layout possibilities
  • Economic evaluation of the proposed solutions
  • General overview on applicable Grid Code, Compliance and Certification
  • Feasibility study report

Required input includes site location information, available land, approximate connection capacity, and possible connection point. Feasibility studies provide crucial technical evaluation that map the development possibilities and prevent the developer from taking excessive risks.

The project planning includes all main activities that need to be prepared and agreed upon by owner’s management that enable project execution. It includes:

  • Accessibility adequacy
  • Permitting assessment
  • Interface responsibility definition and subcontract strategy
  • Contracting strategy (local / remote)
  • Local content and availability of equipment and services
  • Transport and logistic requirements
  • Construction and operation requirements
  • Consideration of local constraints and construction strategy
  • Consideration of work preparation, execution and lead time for main equipment
  • Planning project main tenders and contracting (legal, scheduling, engineering packages)
  • Preparation of program schedule (engineering, procurement, execution, operation)
  • Construction management resourcing / Project team build-up

Design and planning in detail according to project development stage. Before starting a tender or execution, adequate planning enables identification dependencies, interfaces and work breakdown requirements.

Electrical studies are normally the basic first step in applying for a grid connection, ensuring that the product and infrastructure comply with grid code requirements and allow evaluation of connection possibilities.

The scope of the studies strongly depends on the particularities of the given Point of Common Coupling and the desired application. From steady state to transitory regimes it is important to make use of the right tools and correct models. These studies are often conducted by highly specialized engineers with strong software skills but limited overall understanding and construction experience. Given such a wide range of possibilities, it is not uncommon to lose focus on the main objective.

We offer the necessary support, interpretation and decision-making for all electrical studies. Together with our partners we are able to provide the following studies:

  • Power Flow
  • Short Circuit
  • Insulation Verification study
  • Selectivity analysis
  • Harmonic analysis
  • Potential and Earthing system calculation
  • EMTP studies

The engineering and design package includes the management of technical documents required by a competent contractor to perform the detailed engineering and execution of the works. It includes:

  • Layout
  • Single-Line Diagram
  • Civil Works
  • Electrical Works
  • Technical Drawings
  • Equipment Specification
  • Execution Instructions (Descriptive Report)
  • Quality and Documentation Requirements

The required input for the basic engineering is a feasibility study or conceptual design.

Our project management service offers you a complete project management package from a single source. We will manage the scope, schedule, cost, quality, procurement, communication, risk, resources, integration, and stakeholder engagement on your behalf. Unanticipated events and situations will inevitably require the experience and expertise of the project manager (and/or project team) to be efficiently resolved and ensure successful execution.

Technical talent and good people alone are not enough. We ensure that the project team remains focused and motivated to deliver on schedule. We achieve this through communication, teamwork, and consistent activity control.

A crucial step in the final stages of construction is acceptance testing and taking over. The owner must ensure that all design, functional, and documentation requirements are met. Whether it involves grid testing with the utility, third-party certification, documentation checks, or snag list verification, it often becomes a lengthy and complex process as it involves many third parties. Experience and knowledge in managing this step ensure a clear path toward official asset commissioning.

The services include:

  • Arrangement and coordination with third parties (utility / certification body)
  • Preparation and agreement on testing procedures
  • Management and coordination of all involved parties
  • Witnessing final test and verifying of results
  • Evaluation,  trial operation and testing approval
  • Final Test Report

We offer operation monitoring services to ensure you maintain an optimized operational return and maximize the value of your asset.

Included in the Operation Monitoring service is:

  • Assessment of operational data and logs from equipment
  • Consistency across all relevant contracts and/or approvals of maintenance, insurance, grid connection and operational management
  • Finding analysis and remedy measures report
