electrical, instrumentation and controls engineering. The
project manager will work seamlessly to ensure
successful project delivery on schedule, on budget and
in compliance with all regulations such as design codes
and standards.
We regularly provide process engineering, development,
feasibility studies and preliminary engineering in support
of the owner. These reports involve selection of
technology for power generation, site selection study,
equipment and systems for the solar thermal plant,
preparation of detailed cost estimates, life cycle cost
analysis, evaluation of generation cost, detailed financial
analysis, environmental impact statement,
interconnection management including system impact
studies and transmission routing studies. These upfront
planning and studies play a vital role in the success of
the project. The cost savings on the overall project is
significant as most of the issues and risks are mitigated
in the early stages.
AECOMs ability to decouple its full engineering services
and provide the right mix and level of specific expertise
makes us exceptionally qualified and experienced to
function as your Owners Engineer.
As a proactive Owners Engineer, we will play a critical
role in the successful delivery of projects by engaging in

input essential to the planning and procurement phase of
the job. Thereafter, we will draw on our experienced
resources to provide the requisite level of participation to
ensure that the continued need to properly plan, cost,
Hydropower and Dams


communicate and execute the work is satisfied, in order
to ensure that the owners exposure to risk is minimized.
As Owners Engineer, our services initially involve a
review and critical analysis of the overall project delivery
plan thus far developed, including a complete review of
the bid/procurement strategy, followed by an in-depth
review and assessment of the level of bid documents
that need to be prepared to support the contracting
