Today, all development projects involve environmental and social challenges. To be successful, you need to consider all related activities— from construction to operations—right from the project outset, while assessing the impact of these activities on the local environment and neighbouring communities. Doing so will allow you to be better prepared to manage project-specific constraints and any anticipated impacts and resistance.

Plan your investments strategically

No one wants to see a significant portion of their development budget invested in a flawed project fraught with failures. That's why it's important to conduct thorough feasibility studies right from the outset and carefully assess all financial, environmental and social considerations.

This will ensure you have the information you need to make informed decisions and choose the projects that best meet your investment objectives. With a better understanding of the potential impacts—including those on the receiving environment and neighbouring communities—you'll be able to optimize your project, limit any undesirable consequences at the source and compensate for any effects. It will also make it easier for you to obtain approvals in a timely manner.

Connect to the grid with ease

To successfully connect to the grid, your facilities must meet the stringent standards established by utilities and regulators. By conducting interconnection studies early in the process, you can identify challenges quickly and choose universally acceptable solutions. This will help your project stay on schedule, no matter how tight it may be.

Leverage technology without compromising your operations

Many companies are adopting digital technologies to improve their asset management. These solutions can help optimize your operations in a number of ways, but they also involve certain risks. Our team can help you make sure your new equipment is compatible with your existing electrical facilities. This will help prevent breakdowns and outages.

Power grid reliability and performance requirements are increasingly stringent. Our experience in interconnected off-grid or remote systems is backed by more than 40 years in the high-voltage electrical engineering field. We have the skills and knowledge needed to validate single-line diagrams and design criteria during the early stages of your project. This will help you avoid unexpected changes during construction phase.

With extensive experience working with manufacturers and contractors, our experts can offer valuable support and represent your interests throughout the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) process.
