RPS Energy holds regular progress review meetings and organizes a mid-project peer review on all of the larger projects.

Our quality control process includes having the draft findings, conclusions and recommendations from all projects reviewed by an RPS Energy specialist, who has not been intimately involved with the majority of the work.

This final review provides a constructive critique and a sounding board for the lead specialists and Project Manager. The reviewer is asked to determine whether:

• The Conclusions are reasonable and appropriate; and are adequately explained to readers that are unfamiliar with the details.
• The Recommendations are practical; and appear to make sense within our understanding of the client’s business setting and objectives.

If there are complex issues that may need to be handled delicately with certain stakeholders, the reviewer provides a second opinion on the validity of the findings, and can advise the Project Manager on how this might be addressed with the client representative.

In some cases, a draft report will be issued to the client and/or the findings will be reviewed with the client’s team prior to finalization of the report.

RPS Energy sees this Technical Review Process as a critical and integral part of every project that enhances our ability to meet our client’s needs and to ensure that we provide practical solutions to the complex problems.
