Engineering Design Integrity Workow

Introduction
FEED Engineering Design Integrity Workow (EDIW)
EDIW is AMECs best practice guidance to Engineering Managers and supporting personnel for the delivery of technical integrity. It is an aide-memoir that highlights the key deliverables and activities throughout the lifecycle of a typical FEED project.
FEED is broken into six phases: 1 Scope Denition and Engineering Execution Strategy 2 Commencement of FEED Design 3 Initial FEED Development and Hazard Identication 4 Initial Design Review & Audit 5 FEED Design Approval (AFD) 6 Final Reviews and Feed Report Compilation The workow shown in the EDIW Road Map illustrates the execution sequence on a generic FEED Project. The vertical columns show activities that can be undertaken concurrently whilst the sequential ow of work is across the Road Map. As the deliverables and activities in each phase are completed, work can transition into the next phase. Situations will arise when work will need to be be done out of sequence, typically to meet a demanding project schedule. Use of the EDIW allows the risks of out-of-sequence working to be identied and the necessary mitigation strategies to be put in place. AMECs corporate governance and assurance of Engineering will measure compliance with the EDIW workow and ensure out-of-phase working is being identied and managed. This document contains a copy of the FEED EDIW Road Map and includes detailed descriptions of the activities, the key engineering disciplines and supporting documentation.
