Hard problems
in energy assets,
solved.
Independent engineering, oversight and repair for owners, lenders, developers and insurers.
One team that can assess an asset, then fix it.
Technical advisory, engineering and O&M for energy assets. We work for the owner, lender, developer or insurer, and never bid new-build EPC work, so we’re never the party under review.

- Operations & Maintenance
- Preventative and corrective maintenance and remote monitoring, including systems built by others.
