Engineering services
Feasibility to detailed design, and the project roles around them. Our approach is built on sustainability, efficiency and, above all, innovation.
Overview
Overview
Glorinda's engineering services cover turnkey projects delivered as EP, EPC or EPCM, licensing and technology transfer, process packages, and improvement of current processes. With a focus on quality, adherence to international standards and the ability to deliver customised EPCM solutions across multiple sectors, we are set up to be a reliable partner for project execution.
Five things characterise how we work, and they are worth stating plainly because they explain the projects we are good at and the ones we are not.
- Focus on niche projects. We avoid conventional projects and routine solutions, concentrating instead on unique challenges that have gone unnoticed or unsolved by traditional methods. For those cases we deliver bold and original ideas — sometimes used for the first time — to reach effective results.
- Shaping market trends. We aim to introduce innovative methods that can reshape market trends. Technology plays a key role, but we ensure our solutions are compatible with existing infrastructure, which is what makes them practical for real-world use.
- Global expertise. With a presence in international markets and access to a global network of engineers, we leverage engineering capacity and expertise wherever it sits. That creates knowledge synergy and reduces engineering cost by removing the need for physical presence.
- Embracing cutting-edge technologies. We integrate new technologies and systems into our processes even when we are not the provider. We avoid repetitive designs.
- Risk management and innovation. We recognise the risks in adopting new systems. We invest in testing, building pilot plants and making enhancements to develop reliable, scalable solutions rather than asking a client to be the experiment.

Detail
Project roles
Establishing whether the project should exist, in what form and at what cost. Options assessment, technology evaluation, cost and profitability analysis, and a recommendation you can take to a board.
Assisting clients in defining the project scope, preparing request for proposal documents, evaluating contractor proposals, and selecting the most suitable EPC contractor. Also technical and management consulting on execution strategies, EPC contracting models and best practices for successful project delivery.
The client-side technical authority during someone else's execution. Design review, specification compliance, factory and site inspection, progress verification, and the unwelcome questions that a contractor's own engineer is not positioned to ask.
Managing engineering, procurement and construction on the client's behalf, with contracts held by the client. Suited to projects where the client wants control and visibility rather than a single lump-sum wrapper.
Full engineering, procurement and construction responsibility on scopes that fit our capability. Civil construction is executed by local contractors under our engineering supervision — we supervise it rather than self-perform it, which keeps that risk with the party best able to price it.
Bringing a plant from mechanically complete to producing on specification: pre-commissioning checks, system-by-system commissioning, performance testing, operator training and handover documentation.

Frequently asked questions
Can you run just the feasibility study?
Yes, and it is often the best place to start. A feasibility or pre-feasibility study establishes whether the project should exist, in what form, and at what cost — with cost and profitability analysis you can take to a board.
Will you act as owner's engineer even if we buy the technology elsewhere?
Yes. Owner's engineering is a client-side role, and we take it on projects where we are not supplying the equipment. Where we would have a conflict, we say so before the mandate starts.
Do you self-perform construction?
No. Civil construction is executed by local contractors. We provide engineering supervision, system integration, commissioning and start-up.
What is EPC selection and tender advisory?
Assisting clients in defining the project scope, preparing request for proposal documents, evaluating contractor proposals, and selecting the most suitable EPC contractor — plus technical and management consulting on execution strategies and EPC contracting models.
Do you build pilot plants?
Yes. Pilot plant and demonstration plant development are part of our scope, and they are how we de-risk new technology. We invest in testing and enhancement rather than asking a client to be the first full-scale trial.

Send us the stream data, the discharge limit or the equipment list you are working from. An engineer reads every enquiry and replies with the questions that actually decide the solution — not a brochure.

Describe the decision, the deadline and the constraint. That is usually enough for us to say what we would do and what it would take.
