Our services
Arkran delivers end-to-end engineering consulting services across the full project lifecycle — from early feasibility through to detailed engineering and EPCM delivery.
We work across mining and minerals, oil and gas, petrochemicals, critical minerals and battery materials, and energy transition.
Project Controls and Advisory
Independent Schedule Review
Technical review and audit of contractor-submitted schedules. Verifying compliance with contract requirements, identifying risks to timely completion, and providing an independent assessment of realistic milestone dates.
Forensic Schedule and Delay Analysis
Time impact analysis, extension of time assessment and delay quantification. Independent expert analysis to support claims, disputes and contract negotiation.
Estimate Review and Cost Risk Analysis
Estimate maturity assessment against AACE classification, benchmarking of rates and factors, and Monte Carlo cost risk analysis to test whether contingency is proportionate to exposure.
Cost Management and Estimating
Accurate estimating and proactive cost management that strengthen budget confidence, improve financial control, and protect project value.
Progress Measurement Review
Independent review of the progress measurement system itself — rules of credit, earned value method and S-curve realism. Testing whether reported progress reflects work actually done.
Contract, Change and Claims Management
Disciplined contract administration, effective change management, and proactive claims strategy to minimize commercial risk.
Project Assurance Review
Independent readiness review before a gate decision, investment committee or lender drawdown. Quantitative schedule and cost risk analysis producing P50 and P80 outcomes rather than a single unexamined number.
Project Controls Establishment
Design and implementation of the controls framework during FEED — work breakdown, baseline schedule, earned value method, change control and reporting — built, proved on the first cycle, and handed over.
Owner’s Project Controls Representative
Continuous independent controls capacity on a monthly retainer. Independent cost and schedule position, review of contractor claims, forecasting, and board or lender reporting — without a permanent senior hire.
Process and Engineering Services
Feasibility Studies and Conceptual Design
Process Simulation and Optimization
Steady-state and dynamic modeling, heat and material balances, hydraulic analyses, and scenario evaluation for process efficiency.
Evaluation of Complex Unit Operations
Process Documentation
Process flow diagrams (PFDs), P&IDs, equipment sizing, utility summaries and layout planning.
