About
Named for the instrument that measures the ground before load.
A torvane is a small hand instrument pushed into soil to measure its shear strength before load is applied. The reading is simple, immediate, and decisive. Our work applies the same discipline to major construction: test the field before the full weight of execution is placed on it.
Torvane Partners is an independent advisory firm for owner sponsors, project directors, boards, lenders, and EPC executives on power generation, LNG, petrochemical, and data-center power projects over $250M. The firm is led by Robert L Traister.
