Independent Engineer / Lender's Technical Advisor

Independent Engineer (IE) services in public-private partnership (PPP) and concessions projects play a crucial role in ensuring  that these complicated projects are executed efficiently and meet contractual obligations. Acting as IE (on behalf of the public) we always try to ensure that projects adhere to all relevant laws and regulations, safeguarding public interests and minimizing legal risks.

Entering the world of large-scale construction projects like PPP’s and concessions can feel like navigating uncharted waters, especially for lenders without the technical expertise to assess potential risks. The stakes are high - balancing returns while mitigating uncertainty is not an easy task. That's where we come in. By identifying potential challenges and validating project viability, we enable lenders to make informed decisions and ensure their investments are set up for success from the very start. 

Independent Engineering services offer unbiased evaluations and oversight, ensuring that project decisions are made based on merit rather than conflicting interests. Our involvement fosters public trust in PPP/ Concession projects, as stakeholders know there is an impartial party monitoring the project’s integrity and progress. 

At PLANET, we adopt a comprehensive approach to serve as your trusted Lender’s Technical Advisor. We begin with a  thorough technical appraisal of the project, evaluating its design, scope, and feasibility. Our team uses advanced methodologies and cutting-edge technology to closely monitor progress and identify potential risks at an early stage. Through continuous engagement with all stakeholders, we facilitate transparent communication and ensure alignment on objectives. Our commitment to quality assurance and rigorous technical reporting enables lenders to make confident, informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
