Basic engineering package – Ideal approach
A company contracted for Basic engineering design package adapts it
according to the chosen scope of supply work, ranging from the delivery of
key equipment to the incorporation of a complete skid-mounted unit.
Only a well qualified & experienced engineering company will be able to
successfully execute detail engineering, equipment procurement, preparation
of the final plant operating manuals, plant construction etc which ensures a
complete delivery cycle of a basic engineering package.
For the delivery of a skid-mounted unit, assembling should take place in
fabrication workshops, the documentation should focus more on ways to
utilize the unit.
BEP Meetings
The engineering company’s constant contact with the owners of industrial
plants is a must during the execution of the basic engineering to ensure:
All local conditions and regulations are considered
The necessary agreement and understanding on of industrial units
chosen technologies is considered.
Exchange of information about the actual status during basic
engineering performance
Typical meetings:
Kick-start meeting to agree on the basic data
Intermediate meeting to present & visualize first results and agree on
challenges encountered
Meeting to present the basic engineering documentation
A detail engineering review meeting
Both during and after the execution of a basic engineering project, the
engineering company should provide several additional services that are
essential to design, construct, install and run the unit.
For example:
Supporting documentation for authorities
Participating at HAZOP and other safety related meetings
Support during commissioning
Support during start-up
Participation in performance test runs
Support for later plant modifications involving issues like de-
bottlenecking, capacity increases etc.
