The + is in Our Independent Engineers

Harris Group’s independent engineering expertise is rooted in our engineering design experience.

For over 40 years we’ve designed advanced industrial facilities in a variety of industries. We have experience in what makes projects succeed and where the challenges are from pre-financial close through construction and commercial operations.

Properly assessing risk, whether technical, commercial, or regulatory, allows financiers to appropriately evaluate the viability of a given project and make investment decisions.
