Advantages of this solution

Typically the process [Negotiation and re-design, Permitting, Construction and Installation] takes 28 months. Because our multidisciplinary team is able to carry out all these steps in-house, the time can be reduced by up to a third, i.e. 7 months instead of the usual 28.
