Our expertise
Pre-feasibility studies.
GIA helps sponsors assess whether an infrastructure concept warrants further development. A pre-feasibility study compares the principal options, identifies constraints and sets out the evidence needed for the next investment of time and resources.

What we assess
The agreed review considers the commercial proposition, indicative costs and revenues, development requirements and principal risks. Technical, environmental and regulatory inputs are coordinated with relevant specialists.
What you receive
A proportionate screening report, an initial financial assessment, a record of assumptions and information gaps, and a recommended scope for the next stage.
A staged decision
The purpose is to determine whether to proceed, refine or pause the concept. A preliminary assessment does not replace a detailed feasibility study or lender due diligence.

Answers from Global Infrastructure Advisors. Meet our team and explore our published infrastructure experience.
What decision should an infrastructure pre-feasibility study support?
A pre-feasibility study helps a sponsor decide whether a concept warrants further expenditure, should be refined or should be paused. GIA compares the principal options, indicative economics and development constraints, then identifies the evidence needed for the next stage.
What information is needed for a pre-feasibility assessment?
An initial assessment needs a clear project concept, location, intended customers or offtake, available cost and operating assumptions, and known development constraints. GIA records missing information and uncertainty rather than treating preliminary estimates as confirmed project inputs.
Can an early screening model replace a detailed feasibility study?
No. A screening model helps identify the assumptions that drive indicative economics and focus subsequent work. GIA's pre-feasibility tool supports that discussion, while detailed feasibility and financing require project-specific evidence and the relevant specialist studies.
What does GIA deliver at the end of pre-feasibility work?
The agreed output is a proportionate screening report with an initial financial assessment, principal risks, assumptions and information gaps. It sets out the recommended scope of further work and the conditions that would need to be satisfied before proceeding.
