Our Services for the Renewable Energy Industry

Forensic Engineering

We investigate technical failures and operational challenges in renewable energy projects,

providing detailed root cause analyses and actionable recommendations. Whether

addressing design flaws in solar installations or mechanical failures in wind turbines, DAC’s

forensic engineering expertise ensures that disputes are resolved efficiently and accurately.

Forensic Scheduling

Our forensic scheduling experts help clients manage project timelines, address delays, and

optimise schedules. We specialise in:

• Identifying critical path delays.
• Supporting claims related to Delay in Start-Up (DSU) and business interruption.
• Assessing the impact of regulatory or environmental compliance delays.

Expert Witness Services

DAC’s expert witnesses deliver independent, evidence-based opinions to support renewable energy disputes. From design and construction issues to contractual and financial claims, we assist courts and arbitral tribunals in understanding the technical and operational complexities of renewable energy projects.

Forensic Delay and Quantum Analysis
