Astris Finance and its executives have acquired vast experience in structuring and financing projects in other infrastructure sectors such as social infrastructure and accommodation sectors. These projects are often structured as PPP projects where the private sectors commits to provide a service which includes the construction, maintenance and operation of the specific infrastructure in exchange of a service payment. Astris Finance executives have structured and financed these types of projects like the Deal of the Year award-winning Ciudad Victoria Specialty Hospital Project in Tamaulipas, Mexico, as well as prisons and administrative center projects. Challenges posed by the structuring and financing of these projects include:

• the management of various interfaces during construction and operation due to the number of sub-systems and equipment providers often involved
• the elaboration or analysis of the penalty regime and performance benchmarks used to assess the Operator’s performance, availability of the equipment, and quality of service rendered
• other contractual provisions including termination payments, Force Majeure, etc.
