Due Diligence and Capability Assessments

Due diligence is an investigation, audit, or review performed to confirm facts or details of a matter under consideration. In the engineering world this can include a review of technical, financial, safety, production, warranties and quality facets to name a few.

Our engineers and consultants have undertaken over 100 projects involving due diligence over the thirty five years Haden Freeman has been operating.

We also provide capability assessments for production plants where, via our sister company, HFL-CI, we can review your facility in terms of production techniques, potential improvements and significant cost savings.

The due diligence projects and capability assessments we’ve successfully completed include:

• Technical appraisal of an Inorganic chemistry process for the environmental industry
• Production capability assessment for a business sale
• Projects capital costings and consequential throughput assessment for a pharmaceutical business sale
• Technical appraisal of a new fibre from waste plant receiving a Department of Transport grant
• Technical appraisal of a multiple gasification plant
• HSE impacts on business performance
• Equipment performance & reliability assessments
• Business operations performance
• Business criticality assessments
• COMAH liabilities and exposure to risk
• Hidden capacities assessments

Due diligence is frequently overlooked or is confined to a pre-sales activity. However, pro-active due diligence and capability assessments can lead to significant business advantages along with considerable cost savings.
