The anatomy of an industrial project
We publish case studies only after all commercially sensitive figures are anonymised and approved by the project owner. Thirteen studies across five continents are live below — each follows the same six-part framework.
Framework
Every case study follows the same six-part structure so procurement teams can benchmark like-for-like.
Sector, geography, scope of works and stakeholder map. What the project is trying to achieve in one paragraph.
Reported band (never disclosed to the dollar) split by CAPEX categories — civil, mechanical, electrical, cold chain, controls.
Elapsed weeks from RFQ issue to commissioning, including realistic engineering, shipping and installation windows.
The technology families involved — refrigeration, incubation, aquaculture systems, seed processing, packaging.
How suppliers were shortlisted, what selection criteria mattered, how bids were normalised and negotiated.
What the project team would repeat, what they would change, and what to warn future teams about.

Anonymised engagements, published with the project owner's approval. No supplier is named, ranked or endorsed.
USD 6.5M line; four proposals normalised to one scope basis re-ranked the field on total cost of ownership.
USD 4.2M utility-constrained line; energy and changeover normalisation decided the award, not headline price.
USD 9.8M line; landed-cost normalisation across three continents inverted the ex-works price ranking.
USD 7.4M across three packages; one responsibility matrix compressed a 28% price spread to under 9%.
USD 5.6M performance-guaranteed retrofit; 31% modelled energy saving with zero chamber downtime.
USD 12M plant; certification-first specification screened out non-compliant low bids pre-negotiation.
USD 28M purpose-built facility procured under a split-EPC model with ECA financing in parallel.
USD 55M hybrid delivery model where Incoterms and payment-risk architecture shaped the comparison.
USD 1.95M project; requirement structuring turned a draft brief into a comparable RFQ in 11 weeks.
An aquaculture group tripled hatchery capacity with a DFI-backed multi-contract build and staged commissioning.
A greenfield 12,000-birds/hour facility procured under turnkey EPC and financed by an OECD ECA, FAT-first.
Certified seed operations modernised across three crops with a blended DFI and local bank facility.
A 180,000 t/year extruded aquafeed mill, FX-hedged and multi-source qualified under project finance.
