Brownfield
Strategy

Brownfield

Improvement or transformation of an existing site, process or asset base rather than building a new operation from scratch.

Examples

  1. 01Instead of building a new plant, the company chooses a brownfield project: converting an old warehouse into an assembly hall.
  2. 02The management review of the brownfield project checks risks such as old floor loading limits and existing utilities.
  3. 03Teams plan the brownfield layout around fixed columns and existing cranes, so the project fits the overall business plan.
