Advisory Services

Independent Engineering Expertise

No interest in design, construction, or supply — purely objective technical assessments that protect your investment.

🔍
Technical Due Diligence

Independent technical assessment of an engineering project or facility for acquisition, project finance, insurance, or asset disposal. We evaluate technical risk, design adequacy, code compliance, and operational readiness — giving lenders and owners the confidence they need.

  • Review of engineering design basis, specifications, and key drawings
  • Assessment of design adequacy against applicable codes and standards
  • Construction quality and workmanship assessment (site visit or document review)
  • Identification of design deficiencies, construction defects, and open technical items
  • Assessment of remaining technical risk and recommended mitigation measures
  • Review of as-built documentation, test records, and O&M manuals
  • Commissioning and operational readiness assessment
Deliverables: Technical due diligence report — executive summary, findings, risk register, recommendations.
📐
Independent Design Review & Verification

Third-party review of engineering designs, drawings, and calculations prepared by another engineering team. We provide a qualified, independent check of technical adequacy, code compliance, and design intent — reducing technical risk before construction begins.

  • Review of piping stress analysis calculations and Caesar II models
  • Review of hydraulic and surge analysis calculations and PIPENET models
  • Review of MEP engineering design packages — Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing
  • Review of fire protection hydraulic calculations against NFPA requirements
  • Review of clean room HVAC design for ISO 14644 / GMP compliance
  • 3D model review — clash detection, isometric review, support locations
  • Formal design review comment sheets with required design team response
  • Close-out of design review comments — confirmation of resolution
Deliverables: Formal design review comment register, marked-up drawings, close-out confirmation report.
📜
Code Compliance Assessment

Formal assessment of engineering designs against applicable codes, standards, and regulatory requirements. We issue compliance statements confirming conformance or identifying areas requiring corrective action — supporting project approval and regulatory submissions.

  • ASME B31.1 (Power Piping) and ASME B31.3 (Process Piping) — piping compliance
  • ASME B31.4 / B31.8 — oil and gas pipeline compliance
  • NFPA 13 / 20 / 11 / 750 / 2001 / 12 — fire protection compliance
  • NBC 2016 (National Building Code India) — building services compliance
  • IS Codes — Indian Standard codes for structural, electrical, mechanical
  • ISO 14644 — clean room classification compliance
  • EU GMP Annex 1 / WHO GMP / CDSCO — pharmaceutical facility compliance
Deliverables: Formal compliance statement, non-conformance register with corrective action recommendations, regulatory submission support documentation.
🧪
Engineering Feasibility Studies

Technical feasibility assessment for proposed projects, facility expansions, process modifications, or technology implementations. We evaluate technical viability, identify key engineering risks, assess constructability, and provide input to investment decision-making.

  • Technical concept evaluation — assessment of alternative approaches and technologies
  • Site and layout feasibility assessment
  • Preliminary engineering sizing — equipment, pipe sizes, electrical loads
  • Key technical risk identification and preliminary risk register
  • Order-of-magnitude capital cost estimation (Class 5 / Class 4)
  • Constructability and logistics assessment
  • Regulatory and permitting pathway assessment
Deliverables: Feasibility study report with clear technical recommendation and risk register.
🔧
Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis

Expert engineering investigation into equipment failures, pipeline incidents, system underperformance, and operational problems. We identify root causes, assess contributing factors, and recommend corrective and preventive actions.

  • Piping system failures — fatigue cracking, vibration-induced failure, erosion, corrosion
  • Pump and rotating equipment problems — cavitation, seal failures, bearing wear
  • Water hammer and surge events — transient pressure damage investigation
  • HVAC underperformance — insufficient cooling, humidity control failures
  • Electrical equipment failures — transformer, switchgear, motor failure analysis
  • Fire suppression system failures — inadequate coverage, hydraulic deficiency
  • Formal root cause analysis — fishbone/Ishikawa, 5-Why, fault tree analysis
  • Corrective action recommendation and implementation support
Deliverables: Root cause analysis report, corrective and preventive action (CAPA) register, implementation support recommendations.
✏️
Peer Review of Engineering Calculations

Independent, qualified review of engineering calculation packages — providing a second engineering opinion and a formal review statement for inclusion in project documentation or submission to approving authorities.

  • Piping stress analysis — Caesar II models and reports
  • Hydraulic steady-state calculation packages — pipe sizing, pump selection
  • Hydraulic transient / surge analysis reports — PIPENET transient models
  • Fire protection hydraulic calculation packages — NFPA sprinkler and hydrant
  • MEP design calculation packages — heat loads, electrical load schedules
  • Clean room HVAC design calculations — air change rates, pressurisation
  • Structural calculations for pipe racks, platforms, and pipe support steel
Deliverables: Formal peer review statement, marked-up calculation package with comments, close-out confirmation on resolution of raised items.
🏭
Vendor Technical Evaluation

Assessment of vendor technical submittals, equipment data sheets, and manufacturer drawings against purchase order technical requirements. We protect project quality by ensuring that procured equipment actually meets what was specified.

  • Pump and rotating equipment datasheet review — performance, NPSH, material, seal
  • Pressure vessel and heat exchanger review — ASME code compliance, nozzle orientation
  • Valve technical review — body rating, trim material, actuator sizing
  • Control and SIS review — SIL compliance, logic documentation
  • Electrical equipment review — transformer, switchgear, MCC ratings
  • Technical bid tabulation for multi-vendor comparison
  • Material test report (MTR) and inspection test report (ITR) review
Deliverables: Technical bid tabulation, datasheet review comments, vendor clarification register, recommendation for award.
