Design & Sourcing
Specialist Support
Projects reach vendors with gaps in operating data, in how options were compared, and in what suppliers are actually being asked to deliver. Those gaps often return later as scope changes, difficult commissioning, or systems that do not hold performance under site conditions.
Specialist Support closes them. It is the detailed design and sourcing work that turns the chosen route into a clear, procurement-ready package, with six stages and a defined output at each step, from site characterisation through to delivery review and performance checks.
The design and sourcing stages
Every stage ends with something you can use: a baseline everyone can agree on, targets a supplier can be held to, a shortlist with a clear rationale, or a commissioning approach built around checks. The sequence runs from understanding what you are working with through to checking what was delivered, and ends with either a vendor-ready specification pack or a complete process design pack ready for procurement.
Design & sourcing sections
Engage & deliver
Vendor-ready ToR / Specification Pack
Turn the baseline, operating range and control intent into a clear ToR so suppliers respond to the same scope and the same delivery requirements.
Typical deliverables: ToR / spec pack, integration notes, comparison basis, KPI schedule, and commissioning checks.
Complete Process Design Pack (execution-ready)
A single integrated pack that ties the process description, design ranges, PFDs, key sizing, and equipment schedules to monitoring and controls intent, ready for detailed engineering and procurement.
Typical deliverables: design basis & load cases, mass balance, equipment list, control description, sampling/verification points and early-operation checks.
Offer evaluation + delivery assurance
Line up proposals, manage clarifications and deviations, then carry the chosen scope through commissioning and handover so performance is checked, not assumed.
Typical deliverables: clarification tracker, deviation log, scorecards, commissioning focus areas, handover checks, and readiness notes.
Specialist Support
How Specialist Support connects to the broader engagement
Advisory Services
Clarify outcomes, constraints, and decision logic before options are compared. The work that sets the scope before planning begins.
Systems Planning (FlowPlan)
Map the full picture across water, reuse, residuals, and energy, so every stream has a defined route, connections and constraints are confirmed before design begins, and the scope pack vendors receive reflects decisions that have been tested, not assumed.
Specialist support
Define the detailed work that follows planning: equipment and technology fit, sourcing inputs, system integration, control requirements, and delivery checks through to commissioning. The work that turns a confirmed scope into something suppliers can price, deliver, and verify on site.
