Energy and Process

Over the years we’ve worked on a variety of projects in the Energy and Process sector. Our experience includes providing procurement support to the nuclear industry, contract drafting, risk management and dispute resolution services on major chemical and energy projects in the UK, South America and the Middle East.

Our teams have been involved in resolving complex commercial issues in processing plants, steel foundries, energy from waste sites, biomass and coal power stations.

Projects we’ve worked on:

• AGC Chemical Plant, Lancashire
• Blackburn Meadows Biomass Powerstation, Sheffield
• Drax Powerstation, Yorkshire
• Etileno, Ethylene Cracker Plant, Mexico
• Runcorn Energy from Waste Plant
• Low Level Waste Respository, UK
• U.S. Steel, Gary Works, Indiana
• Wilton Energy from Waste, UK

Members of our team have expertise in the Energy and Process sector and understand the unique requirements. We have a broad range of experience in providing specialist dispute resolution services to the Energy and Process sector, acting to protect our client’s interests on:

• Interface and coordination claims
• Application of performance specifications
• Interpretation of design
• Design clash issues
• Late information claims
• Existing facilities claims
• Strikes and lockouts
• Commissioning and performance claims

These projects often have very high liquidated damages and are difficult to commission to full operating capacity. With ALA’s close commercial management, detailed record keeping and submission of timely notifications we’ve been able to provide added value tailored to meet the needs of our client’s projects.

Dealing with complex stakeholder arrangements and the potential for conflicting or ambiguous contractual obligations, we work to see the bigger picture. Understanding complex relationships whilst protecting our client’s interests is paramount to a successful project.
