Service Principles
I can save you money
In niche technical fields such as harmonics and power quality, an in-house capability can be a luxury—particularly if you only need these skills for a few days a month, or for a few short periods along your project's grid connection process.
I can reduce project risk
PQrisk fills the gap between keeping in-house skills and outsourcing entire work packages by flexibly assisting your project team with power quality knowledge and experience.
I can help your team to develop
A job well done is not just delivering the work outputs, but helping your team to understand what has been done, and why—helping you to develop your in-house capabilities.
