What do we do?

Technical Rigour Across Eight Disciplines

We offer integrated expertise across the full project lifecycle, from first site identification through feasibility, design, delivery and operations, with engineering and ESG delivered by one accountable team.

Water to wire. Site to commissioning.

Dams & Hydropower

Water to wire. Site to commissioning.

Comprehensive expertise in hydropower development from micro to large scale, across every stage of the project lifecycle, greenfield and brownfield, with the rigour that gets projects built and keeps them running.

  • Site identification · scouting and screening of viable hydro sites

  • Pre-feasibility and desktop study · early resource and viability assessment

  • Approvals and licences · permitting and regulatory support

  • Detailed feasibility study · bankable, lender-ready analysis

  • Technical due diligence · independent review for owners and lenders

  • Site rehabilitation · refurbishment of existing brownfield assets

  • Project management · delivery from site to commissioning and operations

From concept to connection.

Renewables · Solar & Wind

From concept to connection.

Expert solar and wind consultancy across ground mounted solar, rooftop solar and wind power. We guide developers from first identification through to grid connection and financial close.

  • Project identification · site screening and early opportunity assessment

  • Detailed feasibility studies · yield, viability and bankable analysis

  • Software simulation · energy modelling and performance forecasting

  • 3D modelling of designs · layout, shading and system visualisation

  • Documentation for approvals · permitting and regulatory submissions

  • PPA negotiations · support on power purchase agreements

  • Financial closure documentation · lender-ready packages for close

The expertise that makes projects financeable.

ESG · Environmental & Social

The expertise that makes projects financeable.

Credible environmental and social governance that gets projects funded and keeps them compliant. We deliver to IFC Performance Standards and Equator Principles from day one, with studies developed in parallel with engineering, not bolted on afterwards.

  • Environmental and social impact assessment · ESIA developed in parallel with design

  • IFC and Equator Principles alignment · lender-ready deliverables from day one

  • Environmental and social due diligence · independent review for lenders and owners

  • Safeguards oversight · monitoring through construction to financial close

  • Stakeholder and community engagement · consultation and grievance management

  • Climate and water resources studies · climate resilience and flood risk

  • Approvals and permitting support · documentation for regulators and DFIs

Know the ground before you build.

Geology, Geotechnical & Structural

Know the ground before you build.

Engineering geology, geotechnical and structural expertise built on more than four decades of civil and infrastructure experience. We characterise the ground, quantify the risk and design the solutions that keep structures safe.

  • Geotechnical investigations · site characterisation and ground modelling

  • Rock and soil mechanics · laboratory and in-situ testing analysis

  • Slope stability · assessment and stabilisation of slopes

  • Ground improvement · treatment for weak or variable ground

  • Tunnelling · geotechnical design for underground works

  • Foundation design · shallow and deep foundations for structures

  • Structural analysis and design · dams, bridges, hydraulic and offshore structures

Accurate spatial data. Buildable models.

Digital Services, GIS & Drawing Solutions

Accurate spatial data. Buildable models.

Geospatial data, remote sensing and drawing solutions that put every project on solid ground. We combine GIS, GPS field survey and precise 2D and 3D modelling to support engineering from screening to construction.

  • GIS mapping and analysis · spatial data capture, modelling and visualisation

  • Remote sensing · satellite and aerial imagery analysis

  • GPS field survey · ground-truthing and accurate spatial referencing

  • Terrain and catchment mapping · topographic and hydrological datasets

  • 2D technical drawings · precise, specification-driven drawings

  • 3D modelling · accurate models for visualisation and coordination

  • Multi-discipline drawing packages · coordinated civil, electrical and mechanical

Resilient by design. Ready for a changing climate.

Climate, Coastal, Flood & Hydrology

Resilient by design. Ready for a changing climate.

Understanding how climate change affects water resources and coastlines is vital for resilient infrastructure. We combine climate science, hydrology, flood risk analysis and coastal engineering to design for the conditions to come.

  • Climate change impact studies · effects on water resources and hydrology

  • Hydrological and hydraulic modelling · 1D and 2D catchment, river and flood modelling

  • Flood risk assessment · extent, depth and hazard mapping

  • Design flood estimation · peak flows and design events for structures

  • Coastal engineering · shoreline, erosion and coastal protection studies

  • Climate resilience strategies · adaptation planning for assets and communities

  • Remote sensing and GIS integration · spatial data for climate and water studies
