Design review
Independent review of layouts, single-line diagrams, cable sizing, earthing, structures and energy yield assumptions against the contract and relevant standards.
Engineering Advisory
Owner's Engineering
We act as the project owner's technical team — protecting quality, schedule and long-term performance from early design through to commissioning and handover of solar PV and battery storage plants.
Overview
Your engineer on the owner's side of the table
EPC contractors and equipment suppliers have their own priorities. An owner's engineer represents only the asset owner, checking that what is designed, bought and built matches the contract, the applicable standards and the performance the investment depends on.
Our engineers review designs, follow the supply chain, inspect work on site and witness testing, so issues are caught when they are cheapest to fix — on paper or during construction, not after the plant is energised.

What we cover
Specifications and tenders
Preparing technical specifications and evaluating EPC and equipment bids on a like-for-like technical basis.
Equipment and factory checks
Reviewing datasheets and certificates for modules, inverters, batteries and transformers, and witnessing factory inspections where needed.
Construction monitoring
Regular site inspections, quality checks, punch lists and progress tracking against the agreed schedule.
Testing and commissioning
Witnessing pre-commissioning and commissioning tests and checking results before the plant is accepted.
Handover and documentation
Verifying as-built drawings, O&M manuals and warranty documents so the owner receives a complete record of the asset.
How we work
