Our Services


Generation Project Development and Construction

 

Power Team Consulting personnel bring vast power project experience across a broad range of technologies. Typical roles for us include Owner’s Representative, Project Director / Project Manager, Discipline Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical / I&C, and Civil), Regulatory, Project Services, and Indigenous Relations. Our team establishes or supports project development, procurement, contracting, and execution strategy. Using Thermoflow™ software, we can simulate gas-fired projects and estimate costs, leading to project conceptual design and specification.

We are used to working with and managing Owner’s Engineers, EPC, and EPCM contractors and regulatory consultants, scrutinizing their activities and maintaining the interests of project Owners. We have developed and negotiated many contracts for engineering services, project execution, major equipment procurement, and long-term service agreements.

We not only bring exceptionally strong project experience, but also come with an extensive background of power generation operations, maintenance, and resolution of engineering issues experienced over the life of generating stations. This unique perspective equips us to specify project features with long term reliability and availability in mind and to negotiate service agreements from the perspective of those who have overhauled, maintained, and improved equipment over its life.


Generation Asset Acquisition

 

Power Team Consulting’s experience with operating fleet management provides great strength when assessing generation asset acquisition opportunities. We draw upon this expertise when undertaking due diligence assessments, appraising maintenance programs, and assessing operational and maintenance history. We further leverage our knowledge of new project development, recognizing state-of-the-art equipment, features, and performance when considering the competitiveness of acquisition opportunities.


Power Generation Operating Fleet Support

 

Our joint experience as former power station managers, maintenance managers, resident power station engineers, and generating fleet support experts provides a wealth of knowledge that our clients can tap into. We have planned and led turnarounds, undertaken numerous plant betterment projects, and resolved countless operational problems. 


Combining decades of project experience with formal training in Project Management Institute (PMI) methods, Power Team Consulting is ready to provide support across the full range of any project’s needs. This includes aspects such as Project Management Plan Development, Workstream Definition, Project Risk Management, Cost and Schedule Management, Quality Management, Heath, Safety and Environmental Management, Regulatory Management, Project Services, and Indigenous Relations.
