Project Management & Delivery

We offer qualified AIPM or PMP certified project managers who have a minimum of 20 years’ experience and are specialised in capital projects. Deliverables include project execution plans, project control plans, risk management plans, project resource structuring and specific project reporting.
We offer experienced commercial lawyers and contract administrators to support management of contracts and contractors. The contract administrator ensures the contract services are in line with agreed terms and conditions and that the deliverables are timely, complete, and accurate before authorising payment. Services include supporting the payment claim process, managing variations, and documenting delay and disruption claims.
Our experienced study managers have a more consultative and investigative background to support options development and ensure you arrive at well-defined options and a logical pathway to the go-forward case.
Experienced transactional project management, establishing the estimated costs of projects and their schedules. Enthalpy’s project controls function tracks and manages the project performance in line with a pre-defined baseline, schedule and budget. Project controls provide guiding insights to Project Managers and Management members to make tactical decisions about the project’s direction, often advising mitigating measures to recover schedule and budget against divergent trends.

Independent Reviews

Enthalpy’s Independent Peer Review and Project Execution Reviews provide concise, appropriate and accurate advice to our clients using the experience and capability of our advisory teams. Enthalpy has developed a modern approach to assessing and validating the technical and commercial aspects of investment proposals and projects against well-defined and proven minimum standards and benchmarks. These minimum standards reflect best industry practice for the development and operation of natural resource projects.
Enthalpy uses a prescriptive ranking system, coupled with an extensive and up-to-date database and project benchmarking system, to provide a review, assessment and evaluation regime able to meet the rigorous demands of contemporary investment decision making.
Enthalpy experts have direct and recent experience in their areas of expertise and bring a high level of relevant detailed knowledge to the evaluation process. Technical and commercial segmental analyses are brought together through a tightly managed group that maintains a focus on the overall review deliverable – producing results-based outcomes.

Management Consulting

Enthalpy has been involved in and managed large numbers of feasibility studies for clients and in doing so has developed rigorous processes and standards for study outcomes, deliverables and processes. The result is a body of knowledge that defines the best-in-class procedures and the minimum standards that need to be achieved. While some of this knowledge exists in part across industry bodies, companies and contractors, Enthalpy offers fully developed and integrated Business Systems.
Enthalpy uses its in-depth industry experience, data analysis, proprietary systems, and its unique relationship with strategic partners to identify operational, management and process improvements. We’ve integrated with traditional management consulting firms on engagements to fill technical expertise gaps, and complement consulting engagements focused on system improvement.
Enthalpy has extensive experience in a wide range of project structures created by different forms of project implementation strategies, financial frameworks, contracting plans and technology demands. Enthalpy has learned there is no pre-set, optimum structure – except that it must be the best for our clients and their stakeholders.
Projects and acquisitions today need to be better planned, more transparently presented, and then to be monitored and reported on, according to key performance indicators. Likewise, there is continual demand for speed and higher project returns, and so only the best-integrated, business-driven structures are able to achieve the desired project outcomes.

Independent Experts

Enthalpy has provided expert witness services via a selection of highly experienced industry experts. These experts have worked closely with legal teams to provide defence for major mining companies. Enthalpy’s expertise is built on a strong foundation of local and international experience built up over years of operation. This has forged Enthalpy as an independent leader willing and able to provide strong judgement and sound advice.
Enthalpy has assisted private equity and government clients with strategy, implementation and expert opinion services on numerous project and portfolio engagements. We understand the intricacies of how projects are structured; our experts add technical and operational value and understand how project structure can have financial implications for large projects.
