Basic engineering

 

Basic Engineering Involves The Establishment Of The Basic Technical Concepts, Criteria And Standards For A Project, The Type And Size Of Plant, The Process And Equipment To Be Used, Allowances For Future Additions Or Expansions, And The Degree Of Mechanization And Automation To Be Used In The Plant.

Basic Engineering is a basis of the detailed design and engineering development for the procurement and construction that defines the technical requirements for the common design, fabrication, construction, and operation and maintenance of equipment and facilities. A cost estimate in the Basic Engineering phase may typically be refined to +/- 15 ~ 30% and, in many cases, this package may also be called as the front end engineering and design (FEED).

In general, FEED involves mechanical data sheets of the main equipment initiated from the process specifications, and the Basic Engineering performs the development and incorporation of the specific requirements of codes and standards with preliminary vendor information to be applied to the project.

Contents of a basic engineering package

We will adapt the contents of the basic engineering according to the chosen scope of supply, ranging from the delivery of key equipment to the provision of a complete skid-mounted unit.

For the delivery of a basic engineering package, including proprietary key equipment, the level of details in the engineering package will enable a qualified and experienced engineering company to proceed with detail engineering, equipment procurement, plant construction and preparation of the final plant operating manuals.

For the delivery of a skid-mounted unit, for which assembly will take place in one of our fabrication workshops, the documentation will focus more on the utilization of the unit.

Detail Engineering, covering:

• Purchasing of equipment, main and bulk.
• Thermal rating of heat exchangers.
• Development of Piping and Instrument Diagrams released for construction.
• Development of detailed piping drawings, including isometrics and stress calculations.
• Development of detailed drawings related to instrumentation, electrical facilities and civil works.
• Management of vendor drawings.
• Cost and schedule control.
• Start-up procedures.
• And, generally speaking, all the studies to be performed before construction of the plant.
