An energy service company had the opportunity to purchase an engineering/construction company at an attractive price and needed to make a quick, informed decision. In order to proceed, it was crucial to accurately identify the value of the transaction, including equipment condition, management capability, and production systems.
We performed technical due diligence to support decision-makers during negotiations. Throughout the process we identified the total capital investment required to sustain the targeted investment’s operations. A deal optimization value of $50 million over five years was identified and an integration roadmap was designed.
