F&H Power Consultants
Powering Success Through Expert Power Plant Consultancy
With over 35 years of combined operational and commercial experience, we provide practical solutions that maximise opportunities while minimising risk.
Our Core Services
Client’s Engineering Services
Managing a power plant project involves multiple stakeholders, complex technical requirements, and strict deadlines. As Client’s Engineers, we act as your technical representative, ensuring the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
Technical Due Diligence
Investing in or acquiring a power plant requires a thorough technical assessment to understand its operational efficiency, risks, and long-term viability. Our Technical Due Diligence service provides a detailed evaluation to help investors, buyers, and stakeholders make informed decisions while minimising risks.
Operations & Maintenance Support
Maintaining a power plant at peak efficiency requires proactive management, strategic maintenance, and continuous performance monitoring. Our Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Support service helps operators and owners enhance reliability, reduce downtime, and optimise costs.
Authorising Engineer Services
Electrical systems require strict safety controls to prevent hazards, ensure compliance, and maintain operational integrity. As Authorising Engineers (AE), we provide expert oversight to ensure that all electrical work is carried out safely, competently, and in accordance with regulatory standards.
Spare Parts Support
We specialise in providing spare parts for Control Systems, with a focus on Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Our service helps clients overcome obsolescence challenges by sourcing and supplying hard-to-find or discontinued components.
