Engineering & Studies

Study work decides whether a project gets funded and what it will actually cost. We do it to a standard that survives due diligence.

What we deliver

  • Scoping / conceptual studies — order-of-magnitude capital and operating cost, typically ±30–50% accuracy.
  • Pre-feasibility studies (PFS) — flowsheet selection, trade-off studies, preliminary equipment list and layout.
  • Definitive feasibility studies (DFS) — bankable-standard cost estimate, execution plan and risk register.
  • Flowsheet development — testwork programme design, interpretation, and mass and energy balance.
  • Capital and operating cost estimation — built from a real equipment list and vendor pricing, not benchmarks.

Typical deliverables

  • Process flow diagrams (PFDs) and mass balance
  • Preliminary P&IDs and equipment list
  • General arrangement drawings and plot plan
  • Capital and operating cost estimate
  • Execution schedule and risk register
