Master plans point the way and provide guidance. Their development requires the integration of complex strategic, economic, regulatory, technical, social and environmental aspects.

Role of TROIFostering appropriate stakeholder engagement is of major importance when developing a master plan. Such an engagement is decisive for a thorough analysis of the status quo and of the projected political, economic and technical developments relevant to the master plan.

For better understandingPre-feasibility studies investigate whether a concept satisfies the clients objectives and the technical, economic, social and environmental constraints for a particular project. The studies also provide first assessments of conditions and assumptions under which a set of solutions is feasible and define the order of magnitude of the costs involved. Role of TROITROI has the capability to design well-engineered, economical, environmentally and socially acceptable, and operable solutions that facilitate the feasibility and sustainability of a concept. With its pre-feasibility studies TROI provides a valuable instrument to support its clients in their decision-making process for project investments. Benefits to ClientsTROI combines engineering excellence with economic, environmental and social understanding in order to develop a sound basis for further decisions. For this purpose TROI assembles multidisciplinary project teams that have extensive experience in the business areas of Energy & Climate Protection, Water & Environment and Transportation & Structures.

For Better FinancingProject financing is a key element of investments in the industry and infrastructure sector. In general, a project developer seeks to finance a significant part of the construction costs by borrowing through a special purpose vehicle, which tends to take the legal form of a limited liability company. For this reason financiers need a comprehensive risk assessment and a well-documented project basis before making any financing decision, and a suitable process to monitor the progress and quality of the project during implementation. Role of TROITROI provides engineering and management services to enable financiers to evaluate project risks before signing a financing agreement and subsequently until repayment of financing has been completed. Using the experience gained from planning and executing significant investment projects, TROIs experts make an assessment of the construction budget and schedule and check whether the assumptions of the financiers are reasonable and include sufficient financial reserves. Additional services rendered by TROI include checking the availability of sufficient financial reserves, previous concepts and the financial model for the baseline scenario (base case). Following financial closure, TROI will monitor progress against plan until repayment of financing has been completed. TROIs services furthermore include preparing a comparison of the project revenues and the repayment requirements during construction and operation. Benefits to ClientsTROI has developed a reliable roadmap for the provision of technical advisory services to financiers which comprises pre-defined review and evaluation criteria. This enables TROI to carry out transparent and efficient reviews in keeping with the responsibilities of a technical advisor to a financier.

For better contractingIn times of tighter public budgets, alternative models for project delivery gain wider acceptance. In order to meet the present-day challenges posed by complex infrastructure projects, more and more public institutions cooperate with private businesses in PublicPrivate Partnerships (PPPs). In addition to providing access to private capital, PPPs permit the strengths and capacities of the respective partners to be used in an optimized way. These models require the respective responsibilities and contractual obligations to be thoroughly structured and tasks and risks to be carefully and sensibly divided. Role of TROITROI is able to draw on extensive and long-standing experience in infrastructure projects. The successful implementation of various projects is the result of judicious advice on the structuring of PublicPrivate Partnerships. By combining the technical, financial, commercial, and legal expertise required with the experience as project developer or shareholder of infrastructure assets, TROI paves the way to an optimized approach and solution. Depending on the overall project setup, TROI may also collaborate closely with other external experts such as legal or financial advisors. Benefits to ClientsTROI supports PublicPrivate Partnerships in defining the project organization and in equally dividing the tasks and risks among all public and private partners involved in the project. Structuring the project thoroughly in terms of technical and economic feasibility, financing, budget and schedule is key to ensuring the overall feasibility and the long-term success of the project.

For success and profitabilityEven the best planning and implementation of a project cannot rectify the mistakes made in the preceding screening process. Selecting projects carefully and diligently according to clearly defined goals holds the greatest optimization potential when creating new infrastructure. In order to be able to select the most suitable projects from planned undertakings, goal-oriented criteria have to be defined beforehand. They reflect the different requirements from the different infrastructure areas and the specific challenges. Role of TROITROI gives advice to public and private institutions, banks and investors in all business areas on selecting and defining projects. Together with clients and other stakeholders, TROI develops and ranks relevant criteria to establish sound foundations for decision-making to justify and optimize investments.

A Holistic Approach to Urban LivabilityThe decisive criteria for implementing complex projects are their funding and their likelihood of receiving authority approval. Availability of funding and the ability to gain authority approval determine the feasibility of these complex projects. A projects environmental compatibility is of special importance.

We Care People & EnvironmentSustainable project realization has become a key aspect for planning and realizing large-scale infrastructure projects. Laws, international conventions, bank standards, and corporate principles demand that the potential negative impacts of a project are identified, addressed, and adequately mitigated. In order to ensure the environmental and social compatibility of a project, an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is undertaken to evaluate the potential impacts of a planned project on its physical, biological, and social environment. An ESIA also develops mitigation measures to avoid, reduce, or compensate for these impacts. This assessment is an integral part of a project and provides support to decision makers during project planning. An appropriate impact assessment assures compliance with legal and lenders requirements. It also leads to improved corporate reputation, compliance with corporate ethical standards, and more cost-efficient project realization due to reduced non-technical risks. In this context, stakeholder engagement is integral to achieving acceptable results for all involved parties, thereby promoting good corporate citizenship. TROIs services regarding the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment encompass:Project managementProject designPermittingFeasibility studiesEnvironmental Impact Assessments (EIA) according to national standardsESIAs according to international standardsEcological construction supervision and site management TROI and its partnersoffer a global network of experts with long-term experience with the environmental and social sustainability aspects that might arise during the life cycle of a project plan projects with integrated teams of engineering experts as well as environmental and social specialists
