Owners Engineering & Technical Advisory

Renewable energy projects involve complex technical considerations when it comes to site selection, turbine or panel design, grid integration and energy storage systems. Bureau Veritas’ Owners Engineering (OE) and Technical Advisory (TA) helps ensure that these technical aspects are properly addressed and optimized to maximize the project’s performance and efficiency.  We can help identify and mitigate these risks and ensure that the project’s long-term viability and reliability.

Bureau Veritas' OE/TA services provide renewable energy project owners with a trusted technical partner to mitigate risks, ensure quality, optimize performance, and leverage specialized expertise.  Our team can assist with M&A due diligence, provide constructability risk assessments, perform technical specification reviews, commentary, and scope gap assessment, offer late-stage development-related assistance, and oversee technical subcontractor management - all of which are essential for the successful delivery of their utility-scale projects. 

WHAT can you expect from bureau Veritas?

  • Engineering design reviews

    Engineering deliverables are reviewed from a technical standpoint against the project’s technical requirements (project-specific, region-specific, client specifications, etc.). Comments are provided to the owner for review, approval, and any internal discussion.

  • Review of project technical requirements

    Project technical requirements and reference documents are assessed at a high level prior to the commencement of any engineering design reviews for familiarity. Project technical requirements are then continuously reviewed along with design packages to continually ensure compliance.

  • Comment on preliminary design layout and power capacity

    Paying close attention during reviews at the preliminary design stage helps with setting the project’s engineering work on a good course and trajectory.

  • Technical support for EPC and equipment supply contracts

    We assist with reviewing technical exhibits for EPC and equipment supply contracts, giving our clients our opinion on them based on our experience and expertise.

  • Review and verify project testing data

    In every project, there is a large volume of testing data generated during the testing and commissioning phases. We help with reviewing the results, making sure that tests were conducted correctly and that the data collected looks adequate.

  • Review progress, technical issues, and measures with owners

    We provide support for owners who are looking to make sure that technical issues are resolved quickly and efficiently and that subsequently, the project remains on track from a schedule perspective. We can also provide additional schedule review services as a  a supplement to our owner’s engineering and technical advisory services for more in-depth project schedule-related support.

  • Review the owner's technical specifications

    Owners should periodically reassess their technical specifications based on things such as preference changes and lessons learned. We provide review services for owner technical specifications and can help guide owners toward more targeted and effective technical specifications.
