At Vicoma, we directly link our technical expertise to strategic challenges
We help you make the right choices in complex technical environments—from feasibility studies and concept development to second opinions and overall optimizations.
By combining strategy and technology, we help you make well-considered choices and guide this process toward a concrete end result that can be implemented immediately. In an operational environment, you don’t always have the time or space to properly define an idea. Bringing in a critical outside perspective can also be useful for moving away from the “standard solution.” Sometimes a challenge requires a higher level of abstraction. Our consultants are happy to help in those cases as well.
This may involve defining the scope, finalizing a business case, assessing strategic risks, or analyzing the payback period. It may also involve evaluating the impact of (future) regulations, sustainability goals, operational reliability, or operational safety. There may be several possible paths to achieving the set goal. In that case, what is the most sensible investment? Does this plan align with the long-term strategy? What is the impact on the surrounding area, and does it affect existing permits?
A Fresh Perspective
You yourselves have the ultimate understanding of your own processes. We visit many different companies across a wide range of industries and see a multitude of techniques, processes, methods, and approaches. Together, we can combine that knowledge to take things one step further. Our consulting specialists are happy to contribute fresh perspectives, ask critical questions, and, when necessary, bring in experts who can provide that extra push.
Our consultants provide support in the following areas:
- Optimizing Energy Management
- Developing a master plan for modifications or maintenance in existing factories, facilities, or buildings
- Extending the Service Life of Assets
- Preliminary design of new factories, facilities, or buildings
- Alternative Studies
- Techno-economic feasibility studies
- Permit Processes
- Grant Applications
- Reducing Operating Costs
- Scaling up processes or facilities
From insight to a concrete end result
We guide the entire process through to the agreed-upon end point. This could be, for example, an investment plan, a technical concept, a bid for the next phase, or a detailed scope of work. We ensure that we draw on the expertise of all our in-house technical disciplines and, when necessary, collaborate with partners to take our advice to an even higher level.
STR is pleased to work with Vicoma, as experienced engineering partner, on the development of our brownfield project GreenSTR*. We are confident that our cooperation will help us in the project and can deliver on our ambitions to provide green tankstorage infrastructure for the marine market.

Involved in every phase of the project
No matter how big your consulting challenge may be, our experienced engineers are eager to take it on. We start by assessing your needs as the client. Then, through a preliminary study, we seek the best solution to your problem—both technically and commercially. At Vicoma, communication lines are short: we frequently consult with our colleagues in departments such as Process and Piping and involve suppliers at an early stage. Drawing on our extensive prior knowledge, we create a detailed design for the installer or provide support during the construction phase.
