Challenge
Tees Valley Lithium is developing a lithium hydroxide refinery, positioning Teesside at the heart of Europe’s low-carbon battery supply chain. This UK project, supported with engineering and technology from as far afield as the US and Australia, navigates significant global delivery complexity under tight time and cost constraints. Success depends on precise execution and strong commercial discipline to meet ambitious delivery and production targets.
Solution
G&T is providing end-to-end project management, schedule and cost leadership to keep the programme aligned with evolving design and supply chain inputs. We are ensuring that cost estimates remain current and commercially viable despite ongoing technological change. Our role involves managing the global coordination challenge, integrating the design and procurement timelines, and ensuring each stage is optimised for value - not overengineered or inflated by contingency. Our controls are giving the client timely, data-led insights and flagging issues early - ensuring readiness for investment approval and a strong foundation for delivery.
Outcome
With G&T’s strategic oversight, Tees Valley Lithium is progressing toward its FID with confidence. Our commercial governance is helping unlock value, avoid cost escalation and ensure readiness for execution. Once operational, the refinery will be a key asset in Europe’s battery materials infrastructure, delivering high-purity lithium hydroxide at scale while reducing carbon and supply chain risk.
