Case Studies
A boiler manufacturer served as an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor and built a custom “waste to energy” renewable energy facility that utilized poultry litter as the fuel source. The developer claimed the system did not work correctly and had to be rebuilt at considerable cost
Experts from two J.S. Held practices provided advice. The company’s Construction Advisory experts evaluated the claimed cost of repairs submitted by the developer. The developer asserted that the economic and operational damages were the result of the boiler and other system components not performing as required. Experts from J.S. Held’s Environmental, Health & Safety practice analyzed the operations of the boiler and the associated pollution control equipment, including the regulatory requirements for operations.
J.S. Held experts were successful in supporting the client’s position throughout settlement discussions and arbitration, which resulted in the client avoiding a significant claim.
