Transportation
Our associates can help investors or potential new Public-Private-Partnerships evaluate the prospects for subway system extensions and new lines, terminals, new bridges and tunnels and then set the project up for success.
Ports
Ports and terminals offer technical challenges that are very specific to the location. Governmental regulations, tides, weather, commodities being loaded or offloaded, conditions of the shoreline, environmental sensitivities, depth of the water and ships to be serviced, all contribute to the complexities of designing and building port and terminal facilities.
Any one of these factors can contribute to the eventual go or no-go decision for the project and must be evaluated carefully prior to a decision to proceed.
Pipelines
Pipeline projects can present a host of challenges including, but not limited to, land management, permitting, coordination, infrastructure and logistics. Development teams that have not accounted for the risks and complexity of these issues will encounter untold delays, stoppages and costs.
Electrical Transmission
Electrical transmission lines are often built in some of the most remote and inaccessible terrain on the continent, leading to a variety of challenging circumstances when they need to be rebuilt or upgraded.
