K&M has applied its engineering, development, and financial expertise to assess the feasibility of hundreds of infrastructure projects across more than 90 countries.
K&M has extensive experience providing engineering, commercial, regulatory, and financial services for assessing the technical and financial feasibility of power and water projects. After completing an assessment of a wide range of technological options, K&M’s engineers identify a small set of viable technical solutions. Using information from on-site and resource studies, K&M develops conceptual designs and cost estimates while environmental and social experts assess impact and mitigation measures and costs. Simultaneously, K&M’s legal and regulatory experts assess regulatory and permitting requirements and associated costs and risks. K&M’s financial experts then integrate all the information in a detailed economic and financial model to determine if the project is economically and financially viable. Once viability is confirmed, K&M’s engineers and finance professionals jointly develop the final project structure, implementation plan, and budget, and then draft and negotiate the major project agreements required to raise financing and commence construction.
K&M’s feasibility services are characterized by a pragmatic approach grounded in our experience financing, building, and operating infrastructure projects on our own account.
