Our independent technical expert services include the review and evaluation of the technical, commercial and project execution aspects of investment proposals and projects, assisting clients to make informed investment decisions prior to the commitment to fund, during project implementation & commissioning or after project start-up.

IEA's services are based upon an extensive range and depth of individual expertise, experience and qualifications, delivered within a comprehensive review framework. Our services range from pre-funding assessments and evaluations to project construction and commissioning monitoring, drawdown certification and certification of project completion acceptance tests.

We are flexible and responsive to our client's requirements and utilise modern communications technology to enable a swift and sustained response to assignments globally.

IEA has developed and utilises a modern risk-based approach to assessing and validating the project delivery, technical and commercial aspects of investment proposals and projects. IEA uses a prescriptive ranking system against well defined and proven minimum quality hurdles and benchmarks. These hurdles reflect industry best practice for the development and operation of mining, resource, energy and infrastructure projects.
