Engineering | Project Oversight

There are risks inherent in every project. Engineering and project oversight mitigates these risks by offering on-going, independent, and comprehensive reviews of the project, people, and processes. The goal of this oversight is to ensure timely project completion within budget. Optimum oversight begins early in the planning phase and continues until the project is completed and operational.

Oversight of Bioeconomy Projects

Project oversight is the process by which owners, investors, shareholders, or other project participants protect projects performed on their behalf. This oversight is important to ensure that the project proceeds on time and within budget. Having good project oversight, also allows stakeholders to identify problem areas early and take corrective action while this cost of correction is the least expensive and most manageable.

Engineering & Project Oversight FAQ

What is Engineering & Project Oversight at LEC Partners?
Engineering & Project Oversight at LEC Partners provides independent technical review and verification across project development and execution. Our team helps clients evaluate engineering assumptions, identify risks, and improve project delivery for bioeconomy and clean energy assets.

What types of projects does LEC Partners support with engineering oversight?
We support a wide range of projects, including biofuels facilities, biogas and RNG plants, biochemical and bioplastics production, waste-to-value projects, and other commercial-scale bioeconomy and clean technology developments.

How does engineering and project oversight reduce project risk?
Engineering and project oversight reduces risk by validating process and design assumptions, reviewing engineering documentation, assessing constructability and operability, and identifying issues that could affect schedule, budget, or performance before they become critical.

At what stage should we engage LEC Partners for oversight support?
Clients typically engage LEC Partners during early project development, front-end engineering, or before major capital commitments. However, our team can also support later-stage reviews, lender due diligence, and independent engineering assessments for operating assets.
