Our Services
Technical advisory services covering the full lifecycle of a steel manufacturing plant, from feasibility through commissioning and handover.
Steel Factory Design and Layout
We prepare the general factory and site layout, marking out machine and building positions from architectural, structural, and general layout drawings so civil works can begin on a coordinated plan.
Client benefit: Civil contractors and site teams work from one coordinated layout, reducing rework once machinery arrives.
- Site and machine layout plan
- Building position markout for civil works
- Coordination with architectural and structural drawings
Machinery Selection and Technical Review
Independent review of purchased machinery documentation, engaging directly with the supplier on the owner's behalf to correct sizing errors and omissions before delivery.
Client benefit: Errors are identified and corrected before equipment ships, avoiding costly on-site rework.
- Machinery document review
- Supplier liaison and correction sign-off record
- Verified equipment list with drawing references
Equipment Installation and Erection Supervision
On-site supervision during steel erection and final machine positioning, confirming equipment is installed to the agreed layout and specification.
Client benefit: Direct technical oversight during the highest-risk phase of the project, when installation errors are most costly to correct later.
- Supervision during steel erection
- Supervision during final machine positioning
- Machine loads provided to the structural steel contractor
Factory Setup and Commissioning
Full factory setup covering machine foundations, erection, commissioning, and start-up of production equipment, as delivered on our Mira Steel & Roofings engagement in Burundi.
Client benefit: A single point of technical accountability from foundation works through to first production run.
- Machine foundation and factory layout works
- Startup essential items list
- Startup activity plan and commissioning
Feasibility Studies
Market and technical feasibility assessment informed by demand drivers, competitor landscape, and target customer analysis for a proposed plant or product line.
Client benefit: Investors and manufacturers can test project viability against real market conditions before committing capital.
- Demand driver and market analysis
- Competitor and target customer analysis
- Technical feasibility summary
Business Planning and Investment Analysis
Investment-grade business plans covering capital expenditure, funding structure, revenue and cost projections, and project financials, as prepared for the Musumba Steel Continuous Galvanizing Line project.
Client benefit: A documented basis for engaging lenders, equity partners, and boards on investment decisions.
- Capital expenditure and funding structure breakdown
- Revenue, cost, and profitability projections
- Risk analysis and mitigation plan
Project Management
Coordination of the project schedule and phases, from land acquisition and financing through civil works, installation, commissioning, and performance acceptance.
Client benefit: Keeps multi-phase, multi-contractor projects on a single, coordinated timeline.
- Phase-by-phase project schedule
- Implementation plan
- Milestone tracking against agreed deadlines
Technical Due Diligence
Verification of supplier equipment lists, functional electrical diagrams, and component manuals against what was agreed, before acceptance and final payment.
Client benefit: Confirms the owner receives exactly what was purchased before funds are released.
- Functional electrical diagram review
- Equipment list verification with drawing coordinates
- Component manual and cubicle documentation check
Operational Support
Support through the startup and ramp-up period following commissioning, including the essential items list and activity plan needed to bring equipment into full production.
Client benefit: Reduces downtime during the transition from installation to full operation.
- Startup essential items list
- Startup activity plan
- Post-commissioning technical support [CONFIRM THIS INFORMATION]
Staff Training and Handover
Training of plant personnel on commissioned equipment as part of formal handover to the client's own operating team.
Client benefit: Client teams operate new equipment correctly and safely from the first day of production.
- Operator and engineer training sessions
- Training materials and modules
- Formal handover to plant personnel
Quality, Safety, and Compliance Advisory
Advisory on quality assurance and control, safety, health and environment (SHE) practice, and certification planning for new production lines.
Client benefit: Positions new plants to meet recognized quality and safety standards from the outset.
- QA/QC checkpoints during manufacturing and site activities
- SHE policy and risk assessment guidance
- ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 certification planning support
Civil and Structural Coordination
Coordination with structural steel and civil contractors, providing machine loads during structural design and marking out machine foundations ahead of civil works.
Client benefit: Prevents mismatches between civil works and the machinery they are built to support.
- Machine loads for structural steel design
- Machine foundation layout
- On-site coordination with civil and structural contractors
