Mechanika is a specialist capital project advisory firm. We work at two critical moments in the project lifecycle: before major capital is committed, and after a project has already slipped.
In early-lifecycle engagements, our HI²T framework and CII-aligned readiness assessments give owners, investors, and lenders a stringent, evidence-based view of whether a project is ready to execute — before FID, before EPC award, before the balance sheet is exposed.
In distressed engagements, we step in on projects that have already lost schedule, budget, or confidence. We diagnose the root causes, rebuild the execution plan, and bring the project back under control. The Distressed Project Playbook, developed by Mechanika, codifies this practice.
Our reference engagements span mining, power, nuclear, defense, and heavy industrial infrastructure — from large industrial projects, to contemporary work with private-equity-backed nuclear and port infrastructure clients across three continents.
We operate globally. Principal, Senior, and Associate specialists engage under a published USD day-rate structure. Engagements are typically scoped for owner's representatives, independent advisors to boards and lenders, or embedded leadership on high-consequence capital programmes.
Founded 2005. Based in Pretoria, South Africa. Engaged internationally.
