Restart and Triage Mandate for Stalled Infrastructure Assets

Stalled assets are not failures.

They are projects where the original assumptions about cost, schedule, counterparty performance, or market conditions have been overtaken by reality. What they need is not a rescue narrative — they need someone to face the facts clearly, make the hard choices, and build a plan that lenders and buyers can actually support.

At Global Coalition Mandate Solutions we combine a rapid triage with a disciplined reset so boards, lenders, and counterparties can back the next decision with confidence.

The first step: evidence, not optimism

In the first days we sweep the data room, reconcile schedules with physical progress, and calculate cost-to-complete in a way lenders can test independently.

We map contracts and identify the specific clauses that explain most of the friction. We then produce a one-page picture an investor or buyer can back — setting the baseline for the reset and removing the ambiguity that is usually the real reason lender confidence has dropped.

Choices, not reassurances

Scope is rebased to the minimum that brings forward first cash while protecting safety and consent. Suppliers are coached where performance is recoverable and replaced where it is not — clear deliverables, payment tied to results, not promises.

Offtake and debt are brought back into alignment with the revised schedule. Permit and safety gaps receive visible milestones so stakeholders can see movement. A weekly control room keeps decisions simple, issues visible, and reports consistent.

Commercial fixes that hold

Pay-for-performance structures create focus where goodwill has run out. Staged capacity options allow the business case to remain ambitious without jeopardising the base. Short-dated equity or offtake prepay can bridge a funding gap without waiting for a full recapitalisation.

Insurance and warranty reviews close the surprises that would otherwise surface during ramp-up — the ones that derail timetables long after the restart has been declared successful.

When the plan is credible, confidence follows

Lenders see independent verification of cost and schedule. Buyers see reliable volumes and quality tests linked to ramp-up realities. Owners and contractors share risk in a way that reduces rather than generates disputes.

The issues list falls and stays down. Conversations shift from survival to what comes next.

How we work

We work on a success-only basis — fees tied to the defined outcome, not the hours spent getting there.

If your project has stalled, we can take a restart and triage mandate that replaces noise with a plan lenders and buyers will support — and that leadership can actually deliver.
