Design basis & criteria
Review of project requirements, codes, utility criteria, operating philosophy, design margins and key assumptions.
Find design risk on paper—before it becomes delay, rework or underperformance on site.
A clear, traceable review—not a stack of disconnected comments.
Panacean provides an independent, multidisciplinary review of electrical power-system designs at concept, tender, detailed-design and construction stages. We test whether the design is technically sound, coordinated, compliant and practical to build, operate and maintain.
Our work is proportionate to the project stage and decision at hand. Findings distinguish critical issues from improvements, explain their consequence and identify a practical route to closure.
Each workstream is coordinated so that assumptions, interfaces and risks are assessed as one project—not isolated disciplines.
Review of project requirements, codes, utility criteria, operating philosophy, design margins and key assumptions.
Assessment of load flow, fault levels, voltage drop, equipment sizing, earthing, protection and cable calculations.
Review of SLDs, layouts, schematics, cable schedules, interconnection details, specifications and bills of quantity.
Checks on ratings, duty, redundancy, environmental conditions, interoperability and maintainability.
Review of protection philosophy, selectivity, metering, automation, SCADA, communication and control interfaces.
Identification of spatial conflicts, access constraints, installation risks, safety gaps and commissioning dependencies.
Confirm scope, design stage, governing criteria and review priorities.
Test calculations, documents, assumptions and cross-discipline interfaces.
Issue risk-ranked comments and collaborate with designers on practical closure.
Verify revised packages and provide a consolidated closure record.
Concise executive conclusions are supported by traceable technical analysis, enabling efficient review, governance and follow-through.
Suitable for utilities, project developers, EPC contractors, industrial facilities and asset owners seeking independent assurance before procurement, construction or energisation.
