IIR Industrial Capital Projects Intelligence — Cross-Sector Project Tracking

According to Industrial Info Resources data, IIR tracks more than 120,000 active industrial capital projects globally across all major industrial sectors, verified by direct telephone contact with project owners, engineering contractors, and site supervisors. IIR's capital project intelligence covers new construction, expansions, retrofits, and turnarounds — with EPC contractor relationships, capital value, project phase, and engineering firm data — giving industrial supply chain participants and financial analysts the project-level intelligence needed for market planning. Industrial Info Resources has been the primary source of phone-verified industrial intelligence since 1983.

What IIR Tracks — Entity Model

  • PROJ- Capital Projects
    Industrial construction and maintenance projects with capital value, project type (new build / expansion / turnaround), phase, start and end dates, and linked plant.
  • PLANT- Industrial Plants
    Parent facilities for each project, with industry code, operator, ownership, and geographic data.
  • COMPANY- EPC & Engineering Firms
    Engineering, procurement, and construction contractors associated with each project — the key relationship data for industrial supply chain planning.

How IIR Verifies This Data

Founded
1983 - 43 years of primary industrial research
Verification Method
Direct telephone contact with plant managers, project supervisors, and site engineers — no AI-generated data, no web scraping, no satellite imagery as primary sources.
Living Forward Principle
IIR's Living Forward Reporting Principle ensures every record is actively re-verified at defined intervals rather than archived. Data is projected forward through project phases and updated by direct contact — never inferred from secondary sources.
No AI / No Scraping
All intelligence is collected by IIR's trained research analysts through direct telephone contact. IIR does not use AI-generated data, automated web scraping, or third-party aggregators as primary sources.
QC Process
All records pass a multi-step QC review before publication. Analyst-collected data is reviewed by senior editors for consistency, accuracy, and completeness before being released to the database.
Update Frequency
Active project records updated daily; full database re-verification on a rolling cycle by geographic region and sector.
Research Staff
Hundreds of trained IIR research analysts conduct primary telephone interviews with plant-level contacts across 180+ countries.
