Our Services

Every service exists to protect your project.

We do not offer general consulting. Each engagement is scoped to a specific technical need, with named engineers and defined deliverables.

01

Owner's Engineering

Asset owners lack in-house resources to technically challenge EPC contractors, designers, and vendors throughout a project lifecycle. Decisions get made by parties with conflicting commercial interests.

What you get

  • Named senior engineer as your technical representative
  • Review and approval of design documentation
  • Vendor and equipment evaluation
  • Contract technical annexes reviewed
  • Progress reporting to owner
  • Formal acceptance at each milestone

When it is needed

New build or major reconstruction of CHP, boiler, or district heating systems. Any project above €500K where the owner lacks in-house engineering at the required specialisation.

02

Technical Supervision

Construction and installation deviations from design are common. Without independent eyes on site, they become permanent features of the finished facility.

What you get

  • Scheduled and unannounced site visits
  • Photographic and written supervision logs
  • Non-conformance reports issued to contractor
  • Attendance at critical installation stages
  • Warranty period monitoring after handover

When it is needed

During construction, installation, and the 12–24 month warranty period following commissioning.

03

Commissioning & Start-Up

Contractors declare readiness and request acceptance. Without independent performance verification, owners sign off on underperforming or non-compliant plant.

What you get

  • Pre-commissioning checklist verification
  • Start-up supervision by thermal systems specialists
  • Performance tests against contractual parameters
  • Punch list documentation and tracking
  • Independent commissioning report

When it is needed

Before any formal acceptance of boiler, CHP, turbine, or district heating equipment. Before the warranty clock starts.

04

Energy Audits

CHP and district heating operators often run systems below optimal efficiency without knowing the magnitude or source of losses.

What you get

  • Measurement-based thermal and electrical efficiency analysis
  • Identification of specific loss points (combustion, heat transfer, distribution)
  • Quantified improvement potential in MWh and €
  • Prioritised action list with payback estimates
  • Applicable for industrial boiler houses, CHP, and DH networks

When it is needed

Rising fuel costs. Regulatory compliance requirements. Pre-upgrade baseline. Investment decision support.

05

Engineering Calculations

Designers produce calculations in their own interest. Owners need independent verification before approving designs or accepting completed work.

What you get

  • Thermal and hydraulic calculations (boilers, heat exchangers, networks)
  • Strength calculations for pressure equipment
  • Heat and mass balance calculations
  • P&ID scheme development and review
  • PFC scheme development and review

When it is needed

Design stage review. Equipment procurement. Incident investigation. Regulatory submission support.
