Project Coverage
Project coverage initially begins with a database of approximately 1,000 active projects representing $112 billion in value for North America. IIR is currently tracking 12 new grassroot petroleum refineries that may take place in the next decade. The next wave of major project expansions is expected to take place in late 2010 to 2012 as demand for refined products pick up. IIR’s coverage includes capital and maintenance projects valued at $1 million and greater with a lead time of 4 to 6 months minimum on requests for quotes and bid documents.
Living Forward Market Intelligence – IIR’s team of industry experts are constantly updating and reporting on new opportunities in the database that keeps your subscription timely, accurate and living forward. Our quality control process insures that the intelligence you receive today will become more valuable tomorrow.
