From settling Panama Canal bridge delay disputes to exploiting digital tech for resolutions, North American firm Delta Consulting Group has earned a reputation as a global expert. By Nicky Roger.
Delta evaluated the delay analyses and prepared a rebuttal based on the project schedules, contract, contract modifications and project records. It performed an independent delay analysis to determine the source, magnitude, cause and responsibility for the critical path delays, as well as a cost and damages analysis.
The dispute was heard by an ICC arbitration tribunal. “In arbitration, our staff addressed the claimed damages, including direct cost claims, delay and disruption damages, thickening of staff, added risk, and loss of productivity,” says Toronto-based director Duan van der Merwe.
“Rather than being a ‘jack-of-all-trades’, we have assembled a team of talented professionals who specialise in an array of complementary services,” says
van de Merwe. “This includes scheduling and project planning, forensic scheduling or delay analysis, contractual/commercial, quantity surveying/quantification of damages and finally project risk assessments that complement our project advisory, forensics, investigation and disputes services.”
Delta has a number of competitive differentiators. “In a sea of large, consolidated firms and small sole proprietorships, Delta is leading the development of a middle market that allows us to adapt quickly, innovate, attract exceptional talent and capitalise on growth opportunities,” says van de Merwe.
