L 403dey9 Project Engineering > Engineering of a facility is done in two different steps, a conceptual one, the Basic Engineering, and an execution one, the Detailed Engineering. These twostepsare almost always done by different contractors. The Basic Engineering is usually done under an engineering services contract while detailed design is normally part of the facility's Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), also called turn-key, contract. ‘Thescope of Basic Engineering, also called Front End Engineering Design (FEED), is to define the facility at a conceptual rather than a detailed level. It entails defining the process scheme, the main equipment, the overall plot plan, the architecture of systems, etc. Basic Engineering stops with the issue of the main documents defining the plant, mainly the Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams, the overall layout of the plant (plot plant), the specification of the main equipment, the Electrical distribution diagram and the Process Control system architecture crawing, ‘The basic engineering documents serve as the technical part of the call for tender for turn-key execution of the project Detailed Engineering takes place during the actual project execution phase. It consists of producing all documents necessary to purchase and erect all plant ‘equipment. Ittherefore entails producing the specification and bill of all quantities for all equipment and materials. Italso entails producing all detailed installation drawings.6 Project Engineering Detailed Engineering integrates vendor information (actual equipment data after design by vendor), as purchasing of equipment actually takes place in this pphase, whereas Basic Engineering takes place ahead of equipment purchasing. ‘The depth of details required in installation related Engineering activities, such as Civil, Steel Structure, Piping, Electrical and Instrumentation, ete. will depend on the split of responsibility that has been agreed with the construction contractor. Itis very common, for instance, that pipes with a diameter below 2” are excluded from the Engineer's scope. Their routing, the material take-off and the procurement of the associated material are under the responsibility ofthe construction contractor. ‘The Engineering Execution Plan contains a split of responsibility matrix who defines who does what between the Engineer and the Construction Contractor. {Cac tea 7 x = = fea 7 Additionally, Engineering tasks can be distributed between Engineering centres in different parts of the world, Engineering is split into various disciplines, the main ones being shown on the chatt here, ‘&Conra [sere Project Engineering ' ‘The disciplines are coordinated by the project engineering manager who, like an architect for a building project, ensures consistency between the trades. Engineering activities are of a various nature, Some disciplines, such as Process, are not much concerned by the geographical layout of the plant: They only produce diagrams (representation of a concept) and do not produce drawings (scaled geographical representation of the physical plant). (Other disciplines are very much concernend with these physical drawings, as shown on the matrix below.

For instance, although Piping isstes as many large scale drawings as required to cover the whole plant area, all are of the same type: “Piping General Arrangement Drawing” All commonly issued engineering documents are listed in the Index at the end of this work. An example of each one is included in the corresponding discipline section.
