Key Contacts
How do you get to the bottom of a complex, high-profile construction dispute?
Experiencing worksite disruptions related to security and mobilisation issues, as well as quality issues from its main contractor, a national oil company operator engaged FTI Consulting to provide expert causation data, forensic delay analysis, quantification of damages and loss of profits estimates in a contract dispute for a new build greenfield oil centre in North Africa.
Our Impact
Claims worth $500 million were untangled and the cause of the dispute was identified through analysis of tens of thousands of documents by FTI Consulting.

Our Role
Robust analytics backed by in-depth technical and field experience — and rooted in local market and deep industry knowledge
The analysis of delays and disruption required a deep involvement in the analysis of site data on mobilisation, progress, quality control, as well as correspondence with subcontractors, and audit of the contractor costs to be able to assess the prejudice neutrally.
FTI Consulting provided delay analysis of the disrupted worksite and applied extensive commissioning and industrial understanding to uncover organisational, technical and quality failings.
FTI Consulting experts conducted an extensive financial analysis to accurately determine the impact of the disruption and attendant failings, focusing on quantum claims aimed at valuing prolongation, disruption and financial claims.
Our team built a market simulation for adequate loss of profits calculations based on our analysis.
We immersed ourselves in the data — tens of thousands of documents and records were analysed and organised — to be able to present to the tribunal a clear, robust and understandable case for the delays and losses suffered in the dispute, as well as its causes.
