De-risking investments in a resource-constrained market
The current market is defined by a scarcity of power and suitable land, making the feasibility stage a critical exercise in de-risking high-capital investments. The primary challenge lies in navigating increasingly stringent planning regulations and securing grid connections while validating whether a site can support the technical and commercial rigours of a mission-critical facility. Without this early due diligence, projects often face insurmountable hurdles regarding utility loads or environmental compliance late in the development cycle.
Viability and risk: a definitive roadmap to success
We engage collaboratively with your team to capture business priorities and technical requirements. Using our cross-sector expertise, we provide a transparent analysis that balances innovation, reliability, and cost-effectiveness tailored to your mission-critical goals.
Our in-house specialists deliver a definitive roadmap for both greenfield developments and complex asset repurposing. We move beyond basic surveys to provide deep-dive technical assessments of infrastructure resilience and GxP compliance. This ensures total viability, providing you with a clear understanding of the project's potential return on investment and risk profile before moving into the design phase.
Our feasibility studies provide a comprehensive evidence base to support your internal investment cases:
- Site & infrastructure assessmentA detailed analysis of physical constraints, environmental factors, and the site's ability to support high-tolerance cleanroom or manufacturing shells.
- Utility & power capacity analysisEvaluation of grid connection availability, redundancy requirements, and cooling loads to ensure the facility can support mission-critical equipment.
- Regulatory & compliance reviewEarly-stage verification of the project's alignment with industry standards, including GxP, ISO cleanroom ratings, and planning protocols.
- Preliminary budget & scheduleHigh-level CAPEX estimates and project timelines that provide a realistic framework for commercial decision-making.
Find the answers to your questions
In Life Sciences, the cost of failure is exceptionally high. A thorough study identifies potential challenges and constraints—such as inadequate drainage for process waste or insufficient ceiling heights for HVAC—early on, safeguarding the project against future cost overruns.
We evaluate core infrastructure requirements, including power supply resilience, cooling capacity, and redundancy needs. We also perform a risk analysis to identify potential points of failure and mitigation strategies for your specific process.
We specialise in "asset repurposing" assessments. We evaluate if an existing structure can be upgraded to meet modern cleanroom standards, looking specifically at structural floor loading, vibration control, and the ability to integrate complex MEP services.
Aligned with Equans’ ESG commitments, we assess the sustainability potential of the project. This includes evaluating energy efficiency principles, low-carbon technology options, and the site's impact on the local environment.
Our study serves as a definitive gateway for project approval. With a comprehensive breakdown of costs, risks, and technical feasibility, we enable your leadership to commit to the investment or pivot their approach with total confidence in the underlying data
