Business case & Feasibility

A feasibility study is a critical initial step in the engineering process that assesses the practicality and viability of a proposed project or system. It involves a comprehensive analysis of various factors to determine whether the project can be successfully implemented, considering technical, economic, environmental, and social aspects. The primary objective of a feasibility study is to provide decision-makers with reliable information and data to make informed choices about proceeding with the project.

Third party execution of a feasibility study ensures objectivity.

​

During a feasibility study, engineers and experts thoroughly evaluate the project's technical feasibility. This includes assessing the available resources, such as materials, equipment, and expertise, required to complete the project successfully. They examine the technical requirements, specifications, and potential challenges to identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies.

​

In addition to technical considerations, a feasibility study also examines the economic feasibility of the project. This involves analyzing the estimated costs, anticipated revenues, and potential return on investment. Engineers assess factors such as construction costs, operational expenses, maintenance requirements, and potential revenue streams to determine the project's financial viability. Economic feasibility also includes conducting a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the project's potential benefits against its costs and assess its overall economic value.

​

Furthermore, a feasibility study assesses the environmental impact of the project. Engineers evaluate the potential effects on air, water, and soil quality, as well as the ecosystem and surrounding communities. They identify and propose measures to mitigate any adverse environmental impacts, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and sustainability standards.

​

The findings and conclusions of the feasibility study are presented in a comprehensive report that outlines the project's feasibility and provides recommendations for further action. This report serves as a crucial decision-making tool, guiding stakeholders in determining whether to proceed with the project, modify certain aspects, or abandon it altogether.

​

By conducting a feasibility study, we can identify potential challenges and opportunities early on, allowing project owners and decision-makers to make informed choices based on reliable data. It helps mitigate risks, optimize resource allocation, and improve the chances of project success. A thorough feasibility study sets the foundation for subsequent engineering phases, such as design, planning, and implementation, enabling a smooth and efficient project execution process.
