Understand the technical risks behind the asset
Technical due diligence provides a broader review than a standard equipment inspection. It can combine site observations, document review, maintenance information, system architecture, obsolescence concerns and identified technical risks. The scope can be adapted to a single high-value machine, production line, packaged process unit or group of industrial assets.
Typical applications
- Acquisition of used production equipment
- Purchase of complete production lines
- Evaluation of an industrial asset portfolio
- Machinery relocation projects
- Investment in an operating facility
- Review before refurbishment
- Assessment of ageing automation systems
- Review of incomplete project equipment
- Evaluation of major repair exposure
