Power Plant Design and Engineering Services
Independent engineering for owners who need a defensible technical basis before committing capital.
A power plant is a twenty-year commitment decided on a few hundred pages of engineering. Getting the fuel assessment, the configuration and the heat balance right at the front end is worth more than any saving negotiated later on equipment price.
We provide feasibility studies, basic design packages, permit documentation and owner's engineer services. This work is often commissioned independently of equipment supply, and we are comfortable in that role — a study that recommends not building is a valid result.
Typical for
- Owners committing capital to a new plant
- Developers needing a firm technical basis
- Local contractors without in-house power expertise
- Industrial groups replacing unreliable grid supply
What you receive
- Feasibility study — Fuel and load assessment, site review, technology options, capital and operating cost estimate, financial indicators, risk register.
- Basic design package — Heat and mass balance, process flow diagrams, single line diagram, general arrangement, equipment list and specifications.
- Detailed design — Structural, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation drawings suitable for construction.
- Permit support — Environmental impact documentation, grid connection application, technical annexes for licensing.
- Owner's engineer — Technical review of third-party EPC bids, factory acceptance witness, progress monitoring and payment certification.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often on this subject. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Can you do a feasibility study without a site visit?
A preliminary screening can be done remotely from fuel and load data, but any study used for an investment decision needs a site visit. Fuel sampling in particular cannot be done from a desk.
How long does a feasibility study take?
Six to ten weeks for a standard biomass or gas plant study, including fuel sampling and one site visit. Grid connection studies and environmental work run in parallel and may take longer depending on the authority.
Will you work as owner's engineer against another EPC contractor?
Yes, and we consider it a separate discipline from contracting. In that role we represent your interests only, and we will tell you when a bid is technically weak even if the price looks attractive.
