situ audits of the targeted assets.
Expert Assignment as Specialist Advisor

Thanks to our experience in numerous judicial expert investigations, we are able to act as specialist advisors in the following areas:
– Purification

Technical and Regulatory Site Audits
If you are looking for an experienced external technical assessment of a
biogas production and valorisation unit, providing you with a clear picture of its technical and regulatory compliance status, this mission is perfectly suited to your needs.
Using a proven audit framework comprising over 250 control points, we analyse the site to identify any potential non-conformities and determine
the necessary technical and regulatory improvements.
Upstream, we are able to support you before the acceptance of your unit, working alongside your various service providers (project manager, process engineers, other contractors), in order to issue a comprehensive list of reservations and secure your interests. In this context, we can assist
you all the way through to the lifting of the reservations.
This mission is also available during the operational phase, to provide a compliance assessment in the face of evolving regulations.
A technical audit may also be carried out ahead of a change in ICPE classification or a site revamping.
As part of these missions, we can assist you in estimating the identified
items, either based on Preliminary Financial Envelopes (PFE) or on the
basis of quotations obtained from contractors.
