Energy - Norda

Energy

Meeting today’s energy demands while anticipating tomorrow’s climate challenges requires a multifaceted approach and an innovative rethinking of our energy systems. At Norda Stelo, we are committed to facilitating a transition to clean, affordable, accessible and resilient energy, while optimizing existing infrastructure.

Our engineering consulting services cover environmental and social studies, variant and feasibility studies, design, preparation of plans and specifications and construction supervision for decommissioning, expansion and process optimization projects. Our asset management and reliability experts also draw up inspection and equipment integrity assessment programs to accompany energy producers throughout the lifecycle of their facilities. Present at every stage of the process, we support our clients to facilitate the success of their projects, maximize benefits and ensure transparency and professionalism throughout interactions with local authorities.  

Doing business with Norda Stelo means benefiting from much more than the services of a world-class, multidisciplinary engineering firm. It also means that you are working with a partner who takes your interests to heart, helping you realize your ambitions within a responsible and sustainable approach.

Energy Services

Our services cover the entire lifecycle of energy projects, ensuring that our clients benefit from cost-effective, clean energy while modernizing existing facilities to extend their lifespan and improve their performance.  

Our expertise encompasses a wide range of services covering, among others, nuclear power, renewable energies (solar, wind, biomass) and technological innovation, including CO₂ capture and storage, electrification and hydrogen production. We also assist the petrochemical, chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries by designing essential infrastructure, from roads to storage buildings.  

To complement these services, Norda Stelo offers you access to its multidisciplinary expertise. Whether it’s for a specific need or a more comprehensive review of your facilities, we’re here to support you every step of the way.  

01
Needs Analysis and Studies

Assessing the feasibility of an energy project includes several detailed analyses to consider its viability and sustainability. These include the needs analysis, the technical and economic feasibility study, which assesses the various technological options and associated technical constraints, and the environmental and social impact study, which analyzes the potential environmental impacts and considers the social acceptability of the project to minimize these impacts. In addition, obtaining the necessary permits and authorizations is an essential component of this assessment, demonstrating that the project complies with all applicable regulations and standards, thereby ensuring its legal and environmental compliance.  

Norda Stelo offers due diligence services to organizations seeking to invest in new assets or evaluate existing ones. Our clients include financial institutions, investment funds and private companies. We carry out a comprehensive analysis of financial, technical, environmental, social and legal risks.  

02
Design and Planning

Norda Stelo distinguishes itself in the realization of energy projects, from the point of production to the end consumer. In addition to proven expertise in hydroelectric power and renewable energy infrastructure (wind, solar, biomass), we hold CSA N299 certification in nuclear power. We also offer consulting services in technological innovation in fields such as CO₂ capture and storage, equipment electrification and hydrogen production.  

In addition, we provide expertise in petrochemicals, chemicals, polymers, oil and gas processing and refining. Our engineering team is qualified to design all the infrastructure required for energy projects, including roads, civil engineering works, buildings and storage structures.  

03
Construction Management and Supervision

Over the years, Norda Stelo has built up experience in EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) projects, ensuring efficient execution and maximum financial savings for the client, who obtains the required services at the lowest cost and in the shortest possible timeframe. 

Norda Stelo’s integrated approach to project management also enables us to monitor on-site progress, and ensure quality construction in full compliance with the produced engineering plans and specifications.  

Among other forms of mandate, Norda Stelo is able to take on the role of designated client representative, acting as a consultant to assist the client in decision-making and risk management throughout all project activities and phases.  

Norda Stelo also provides independent engineering services to project investors, ensuring compliance with international standards. We advise consultants and contractors at every stage, from pre-construction to commissioning and closure, to ensure the quality and compliance of the work.

Support, Optimization and Asset Maintenance

At Norda Stelo, asset sustainability has become a business model. Our decades of experience in brownfield engineering have enabled us to develop an approach that aims to increase an asset’s lifespan while proactively managing risk. We deliver dynamic monitoring of an asset’s state of health, taking into account the environment and operational context.  

We offer our clients expertise to help them maintain the technical reliability, integrity and proper functioning of physical assets (production, infrastructure). The goal is to maximize asset availability and performance, ensure regulatory compliance as well as protect the environment, people and the community, throughout the entire asset lifecycle.  

As a member of the Institute of Asset Management, Norda Stelo develops proven asset management approaches in line with the ISO 55000 standard. In addition to auditing services, we also offer training courses for our clients wishing to adopt best practices in asset management. We invite you to consult our Solution page for Asset Management.

Detailed Engineering for Rehabilitation of Water Treatment System at Société Ivoirienne de Raffinage (SIR)

In 2014-2015, Norda Stelo was commissioned by SIR in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, to carry out a detailed engineering study to propose amendments, replacements, upgrades or renovations required to ensure the proper operation of all water treatment equipment in unit 65. This unit was designed to remove insoluble hydrocarbons, and comprises various pieces of equipment, including two static longitudinal settlers (API settler), a flocculator and the dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit. The rehabilitation of unit 65 was essential in view of the construction and commissioning of a downstream biological treatment unit. This unit would enable SIR to meet future, more stringent environmental standards.
