A typical project referred to in this book is an ore‐bearing property, owned by an investor, which according to the exploration figures contains a large ore body of Cu/Zn ore. This can equally be a mining property of coal, silver, and gold, or it may be a brewery batch plant or a large harbor development.

On the power industry side, this may be a hydro development project, for which a catchment area is defined and dammed to create a head and estimate the flow of water that can be controlled from the area. The electrical part of the project, though large, is relatively small in comparison with the huge civil infrastructure required to be built. Utilities typically take ownership of these large projects.
