Sindri Projects

Our Services

We help industrial companies scale technologies and deliver capital projects with clarity, speed, and control.

Discover

TRL baseline grounded in laboratory results, risks, and targets.

Define

Basis of Design, scope, integrated master schedule, and funding pathway — all aligned to the lab evidence.

Demonstrate

Run pilot plant, capture evidence — product and process data prove readiness for commercial scale.

Design

Process design from proven data — scalable and financeable.

Deliver

Contracts, execution, assurance.

Industry Project Development & Execution

Tailored project management for industrial initiatives — from technology maturation and scale-up strategies through execution and delivery.

We act as your project lead or augment your in-house team, guiding projects from early definition through delivery. Using stage-gate governance tied to TRL, we ensure that strategies, designs, and financing are aligned with demonstrated technology maturity—reducing risk, avoiding costly mid-stream changes, and enabling faster, more predictable execution.

Typical deliverables include:

Pilot & Production Asset Planning and Design

Strategic planning and design of pilot plants and production facilities, supported by strong tech demonstration, ensuring that execution can proceed swiftly and smoothly.

Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) are the backbone of successful scale-up. Many companies try to leapfrog from lab to commercial without proving intermediate stages, which stalls financing, undermines profitability, and erodes market trust. We link laboratory results, pilot operations, and production asset design directly to TRL progression so scale-up is evidence-based, financeable, and credible—reducing execution risk and enabling timely commercialization.

Technology Readiness Level (TRL) Assessments

Independent evaluations of technology maturity, helping you identify risks, set realistic milestones, and plan the path to commercialization.

TRL assessments provide a structured, objective way to measure whether your technology is ready to move from one stage of development to the next. Many projects fail because optimism replaces evidence—companies commit to financing or construction before the underlying technology has been adequately demonstrated. By benchmarking against a clear TRL framework, we help you understand where your technology stands, what data is still needed, and how to de-risk the transition to pilot or commercial scale. This ensures that both investors and project teams have the confidence to proceed.

Typical deliverables include:

Project Assurance and Audits

Objective reviews to ensure projects stay on track, align with best practices, and deliver the intended value with reduced risk.

Independent project assurance provides an outside perspective that helps catch blind spots before they become costly problems. Many industrial projects run into delays, overruns, or under-delivery because internal teams are too close to the work to challenge assumptions. We provide structured audits at key stage gates and during execution, reviewing governance, scope, budget, and technical decisions against best practices and industry benchmarks. The goal is to give management, investors, and partners confidence that the project is being delivered with rigor and that risks are being managed proactively.

We can also tailor this service to act as an independent engineer, providing investors with invaluable insights into a firm’s true technical and project maturity before investment decisions are made. Building on the TRL framework and experienced assessments of project and operating assets’ performance, this service helps financiers cut through optimism bias and make evidence-based decisions.

To preserve objectivity, we only offer this service when we are not otherwise engaged on the same project.

Technology & Financing Alignment

Guidance to align technology maturation and project design with financing requirements, ensuring that demonstration activities and planning provide a solid foundation for securing funding and successful execution.

Securing financing for industrial technology projects requires more than a promising idea — investors and grant providers demand evidence that the technology can scale, that the project is well designed, and that risks are under control. We help companies structure their technology maturation and demonstration activities so they directly support financing milestones and investor confidence. By linking TRL progression, asset design, and project execution strategies, we ensure that business cases are both technically credible and financially bankable.

We also support applications for public funding, such as the EU Innovation Fund and Innovation Norway, by ensuring that the technical narrative, demonstration plan, and project design align with funder expectations. A particular focus is on the quality of data used to support applications — whether from pilot operations, validated process results, or early production runs — giving financiers confidence that projections are grounded in demonstrated performance.
