Green Field Engineering
Onward Resources can support the planning, design, and construction of a completely new facility or project from scratch, on previously undeveloped land or a site that has no existing infrastructure. In contrast to brownfield projects, which involve modifying or expanding existing facilities, greenfield projects start with a blank slate, giving engineers more flexibility in design but often requiring significant groundwork and infrastructure development.

Higher Capital Investment
These projects generally require a larger initial capital outlay compared to brownfield developments because everything needs to be built from the ground up—there are no pre-existing utilities, structures, or pipelines to leverage.

Brown Field Engineering
NO PROJECT IS TOO SMALL. Onward Resources can support the modification, upgrade, expansion, or redevelopment of an existing facility or infrastructure. In contrast to greenfield projects, which are built from scratch on undeveloped land, brownfield projects involve working within the constraints of established assets, such as oil platforms, refineries, pipelines, or processing plants. These projects aim to enhance efficiency, increase capacity, extend the life of a facility, or adapt it to new technologies while minimizing downtime

Operational Constraints
Since brownfield projects are carried out at functioning facilities, engineers must plan around existing operations. This involves minimizing disruption to ongoing production and ensuring safety during construction or maintenance work. Shutdowns or turnarounds are often carefully timed and kept as short as possible.

Operational Risks
Working on an operational site requires careful coordination to ensure that production is not disrupted and that safety risks are minimized. Shutdowns may be required for certain upgrades, impacting overall production.
Aging Infrastructure
Dealing with older equipment and systems can be complex, as outdated components may need to be replaced or upgraded. Maintenance and structural integrity issues may also arise during the project.
Space and Layout Constraints:
Existing facilities may have limited space for expansion or upgrades, requiring creative engineering solutions to work within these physical limitations.
Environmental and Safety Concerns
Upgrading facilities often involves complying with modern environmental standards and safety regulations, which can require significant modifications to the site’s infrastructure.
Advantages of Brownfield Projects
Advantages of Brownfield Projects
Lower Capital Investment
Since existing infrastructure is utilized, the capital costs are typically lower than in greenfield projects.
Faster Implementation
Brownfield projects generally have shorter timelines compared to greenfield projects, as there is no need for extensive site preparation or infrastructure development.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Brownfield developments may have less environmental impact since the site is already developed, reducing the footprint of new construction and minimizing the need for land clearance.
