Facility design – Manufacturing Plant – Plant Utilities – Infrastructure Change

Lorien cover the core disciplines of Industrial Process and Materials Handling to supplement your own in-house expertise. This core capability is supported by the latest automation thinking, with expert project management and coupled with utilities and civil inputs, a ‘complete package’ for your project may be provided, or simply one or two particular skills.

Clients often involve Lorien prior to the funding being finalised for a project such that an external view is obtained to give the capital application greater accuracy and credibility. We follow through from this early involvement in projects through design, tendering processes, implementation management and training.

We believe that a flexible approach to the procurement methodology is key to the success of any project. At Lorien we are engaged in most forms of contract style, be it Design and Project Management Consultancy, Main Contract, Design and Build, Managing Contract or Framework Agreement.
