Explore our Program & Development Process
During the prospecting and environmental studies phase, the team conducts a thorough review of target locations, preliminary GIS mapping, and both fatal flaw and critical issues analyses. Additional selection criteria such as proximity to key customer areas, positive landowner and community support, and interconnection opportunities are also carefully evaluated. Our team will also perform any necessary field-based environmental studies and reporting.
In the land siting and injection analysis stage, efforts focus on land acquisition considerations, title research, document preparation, preliminary engineering, and conducting injection studies to evaluate feasibility, optimize design, and ensure regulatory compliance for safe and efficient operations.
During the due diligence and survey phase, the team finalizes the conceptual design, supports topographic, boundary, and ALTA surveys, conducts studies to support the entitlement process, estimates energy yield, and performs an initial CAPEX analysis to assess project viability.
During the project entitlements phase, the system design is finalized, and a detailed site plan is prepared. The team conducts pre-application meetings, submits applications to the municipality, participates in public hearings, and completes land acquisition.
The interconnection agreements are finalized, and grid authorization is secured.
In this design stage, project specifications are finalized, the full design package and constructability review are completed, and value engineering reviews are conducted. EPC contractor pre-qualification and the competitive bidding process are also completed to ensure the selection of qualified partners.
During EPC construction, the team finalizes contractor pre-qualifications and bid evaluations, provides contractor recommendations, completes value engineering, prepares the construction budget, and oversees the preparation of bid documents and contract negotiations.
Case Study
By aligning teams, tools, and timelines under one approach, Atwell enabled a small client team to achieve outsized results, setting a precedent for how thoughtful partnerships drive long-term value.
