  • Regional Approaches and Risk of the Selection of Engineers

Regional Approaches and Risk of the Selection of Engineers

This whitepaper focuses on the implications of engineering partnership selection for European Critical Raw Material projects. The paper discusses the inherently different engineering and partnering approaches of the small, medium and large engineering houses, and the implication of contracting strategies for each. This is provided in the context of complex processing and technically challenging greenfield project development in a region that has very little recent experience in new mineral exploitation and involves clients and engineers with varying technical capability and capacity.
