Due Diligence

Due diligence entails the independent analysis of the engineering, commercial, regulatory, and environmental aspects of a project. Whether lender or sponsor, it’s crucial to thoroughly grasp the interrelationships between a project’s many components. And when you do, you can effectively minimize the inevitable risks arising from technical and financial assumptions related to the construction and operation of the facility.

Thinking Outside the Pipe
A pipeline company was seeking financing for a major new installation but needed to verify the pipeline’s capacity for the lender. However, the proposed test would be expensive and would likely delay closing – unacceptable to all parties.

E3’s solution? We tested individual compressors at maximum compressor load, then used an independent hydraulic model to determine whether the tested compressors would support full pipeline capacity. Our test identified the main risk to the lender, a risk all sides deemed manageable. The lenders closed the financing package immediately.
