Independent Technical Advisory
Independent engineering insight for lenders and investors.
Banks, investors, and venture capital groups face a difficult challenge when evaluating capital projects, power generation assets, and emerging and new technologies: the technical risk driving the investment decision often isn't visible in a financial model. ICPE provides independent technical advisory services to lenders and investors, giving financial decision-makers direct access to licensed professional engineers who can evaluate the technical merit, risk, and readiness of a project before capital is committed.
ICPE's team conducts technical due diligence and fatal flaw analysis across capital projects, power generation facilities, and new technology ventures, reviewing engineering design, cost estimates, schedule assumptions, equipment selection, and process or performance claims with the same rigor ICPE applies to its own EPCM projects. Because ICPE engineers have been involved in deploying new technologies across mining and minerals, oil and gas, power generation, and industrial infrastructure, including collaborative work with national laboratories and research institutions on emerging technologies in critical minerals and energy, the firm brings sector-specific technical depth that a purely financial review cannot provide, without any stake in the outcome of the deal.
Whether you're evaluating a single capital project, assessing a new technology before a funding round, or need an ongoing lender's engineer through construction and commissioning, ICPE delivers technical advisory built to withstand scrutiny, from initial screening through construction completion and operational startup. The result is independent, defensible technical insight that lets financial decision-makers move forward with confidence.
