Owner's Engineer

Adding value from start to finish

Mitigating risk is on every developer's mind.

For developers without the adequate in-house resource or the expertise required to develop a project, appointing an experienced owner's engineer can provide specialist guidance during the development and construction phases all the way through to commissioning.

From management of risk and construction monitoring, to contracting strategy and scheduling support, expertise and extensive project-based experience adds significant value and risk mitigation to any project.

Crucial project-based experience

Our extensive experience - in project planning, development, construction, project management, due diligence and operations - means that we have a unique insight into the risks and challenges that you'll face when developing and constructing a wind or solar farm.

Our engineering function brings together analysts, civil, electrical and mechanical engineers working closely with our project management team to ensure that the wind and solar projects that we work on are developed and constructed on time, on-spec and on budget.

MEASUREMENT & RESOURCE ASSESSMENT

The foundation of a robust business case relies on accurate understanding of resource, so we undertake monitoring of data and witnessing of measurement installation which inputs into preliminary energy resource estimates.

CONTRACTING STRATEGY

Every project is different and that's why they demand a carefully thought-out contracting strategy to balance risk mitigation and optimising financial gains.That's why working with us on your contracting setup and risk analysis is so important.

TENDER SUPPORT

From procurement of technology to Balance of Plant (BoP) procurement, we support clients with the tendering process and development of technical documents alongside legal advisors.

RISK MANAGEMENT

We deliver a comprehensive risk management plan and risk register, while analyzing project risk associated with schedule, cost and interface.

CAPEX & OPEX MODELLING

Our insight into CapEx and OpEx modelling delivers accurate projections, taking into account contingency modelling and O&M strategy across the full life of the project.

SCHEDULING

Support in developing, delivering and maintaining the project's master schedule and the project execution plan ensures that your project remains on time and, subsequently, within budget.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN

From foundation design and substation concepts, to array layout options and electrical system design, our engineering team give detailed insights based on site-specific conditions.

ENERGY YIELD ASSESSMENT

Our analysis provide accurate energy estimates for the site including uncertainty analysis and recommendations for strategies to reduce uncertainty.

GEOPHYSICAL & GEOTECHNICAL

Our engineers will give a high-level indication of seabed or soil conditions, water depths and topography to feed into concept design and feasibility studies.
