Strategic Consulting

Owners of all types of assets are continually under pressure to operate efficiently and cost effectively. We use strategic asset management to support the mission of an organization on matters ranging from asset management planning and program improvement, to technology solutions and condition assessments, to technical communications.

We help by enabling owners to make cost, risk, and performance decisions to optimize and sustain the performance and value of physical assets throughout their lifecycle.

The way we produce, transmit, distribute and use energy is transforming rapidly. Our gas and electricity systems are shifting away from fossil fuels and toward “green” energy. In the future, when we charge our electric vehicles or turn on our lights at home, the power we use is more likely to come from renewable and clean energy sources.

One of the biggest challenges in this transition will be developing energy systems that are not only “clean,” but also reliable and affordable. The sun doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow, so how can we make sure that renewable energy is always available when and where we need it? And how can we make sure that our drive towards a green future positively impacts economic growth?
