Client: NACAP
Project: Acquisition Assessment
Nacap Australia is a leading pipeline construction company who undertakes many of the large pipeline infrastructure projects in Australia across the Oil, Gas, Mining and Water sectors. A key facet of Nacap’s expansion strategy is to consider niche acquisitions that complement our current business operation. One such opportunity arose when Nacap had the opportunity to explore an ownership equity stake in a modularised and transportable pipe manufacturing facility. This was a specialised and complex business opportunity as it had the potential to optimise pipeline construction costs as well as providing a new business line to the company.
To explore this opportunity Nacap needed to objectively consider all the risks, opportunities, and market sensitivities and it was necessary to look beyond the capabilities which existed internally to ensure that this project had immediate and focused attention. Accordingly we engaged the management consulting services of RB Consulting to assist. Their brief was to undertake a full market analysis to rewrite and validate the business model, so as to ensure that this business was sustainable and profitable. The work involved RB Consulting immersing themselves into the technical aspects of pipe manufacture, logistics and pipeline construction as well as understanding the current and forecast market conditions, price structures, risks and opportunities. The output was a pack prepared by RB Consulting to the Nacap Australia Board of Directors which provided a full analysis and a recommendation. This work had to be completed against extremely tight time deadlines.
Our experience with RB Consulting was one of responsiveness combined with clear transparent precise thinking and easy to understand logic flow. The ability of RB Consulting to quickly understand the technical constraints and also the ability to undertake their own research and analysis to support or detract case study assumptions was impressive and extremely valuable. Despite the time pressures, RB Consulting were polite, engaging and professional at all levels and at all times both internally and in our external negotiations.
The work performed by RB Consulting enabled Nacap be confident that the best decision was made and to this end RB Consulting delivered.
