Independent Engineering Services

Hatch Energy has performed independent engineering services for a wide variety of power, electric transmission and distribution facilities throughout the world. We understand the need to not only identify technical risks associated with project costs, performance, operation and environment, but also to work with lenders, project sponsors and/or other parties in developing viable solutions to mitigate technical risks.

Our engineers, scientists, regulatory specialists and analysts typically review and assess:

• Participant qualifications
• Civil, structural, mechanical and electrical design
• Contract terms and conditions
• Agreements and their overall consistency
• Environmental studies and permits
• Capital and operating costs and construction schedules
• Hydrology and reservoir operation
• Ffuel procurement
• Project pro forma
• Construction management practices
• Startup and performance testing
• Operation and maintenance.

Other related services that we provide in support of our independent engineering review include condition assessment, evaluation of remaining useful life, formulation of capital investment plans and risk assessments. Before equity investors and lenders decide to commit to a project, we perform fatal flaw analysis. For project sponsors, we provide revenue enhancement and cost reduction strategies.
