Learn more »Specifications, bid evaluation and objective vendor comparison — plus oversight of equipment manufacture and erection, on the owner's behalf.
Learn more »Commissioning, qualification, validation and operational readiness — taking pharmaceutical, industrial and capital facilities from mechanical completion to reliable, verified operation.
Learn more »Environmental compliance, permitting, waste reduction, circular-economy and carbon-reduction strategy, and water & wastewater engineering for public and industrial clients.
Learn more »Most engagements start with a conversation about the problem — a waste stream, a facility that isn't performing, a project that needs to be evaluated, or a technology decision that has to be right. From there WES scopes the work, whether that is a focused feasibility study, an owner's-engineering role, or full lifecycle support from concept through start-up.
WES International serves clients across South America, Central America, North America and the Caribbean, backed by Colombian engineering leadership and full bilingual (English and Spanish) capability. Our founders' background bridging U.S. engineering practice and Latin American markets lets the firm work effectively with public institutions, utilities, developers and industrial companies throughout the Americas.
An owner's engineer represents the project owner's interests rather than the contractor's, reviewing designs, holding the EPC contractor to specification and protecting the owner through commissioning. A municipality should engage one whenever it is procuring a complex facility it does not have the in-house engineering staff to oversee, so that the delivered plant matches what was promised. WES routinely acts in this owner's-engineering role.
Yes. WES can be engaged for a single focused study, such as a feasibility study or a technology evaluation, or for support across the entire project lifecycle. Many engagements begin with one study and grow from there. You are not required to commit to a full project to work with us.
Most engagements begin with a WES Assessment. Assessments start at $12,500, depending on project size and complexity. The assessment provides independent engineering guidance before major capital is committed and often becomes the foundation for future feasibility studies, owner's engineering or project development work.
A WES feasibility study tests both technical and economic viability before capital is committed, with realistic cost estimates rather than optimism. It weighs the feedstock, the site, the regulatory environment and the client's objectives, and evaluates which process and technology best fit. The result gives decision-makers sound engineering ground to stand on.
WES serves industrial, municipal and private-sector clients, including governments, utilities, developers and industrial companies. Its engineering experience spans the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, environmental, waste and energy sectors. Geographically it works across South America, Central America, North America and the Caribbean.
Every successful infrastructure project begins with the right engineering decisions. Bring us your project before you commit significant capital, select a technology, or begin procurement.
