Planning
Flexibility and innovation in the use of proven technology has been a requirement of most
projects over the last "half century". As a result a company policy has
developed whereby each project is approached as a "once off".
The planning of the projects follows the contract review
meeting, where the project management team defines the principal objectives and
requirements of the project.
At this initial stage the client and/or his representative
are fully briefed and are invited to participate in the planning stage to ensure that the
client's objectives and
expectations are being addressed in the planned design.
Design Engineering
Design engineering is the detailing of general arrangements of the plant, flow diagrams,
and process & instrumentation diagrams (P&ID's) showing the total scope of the
supply and termination points.
Interfaces with other plant or processes, mechanical &
electrical works, civil & structural works, programmes & schedules are also
detailed at this stage and communicated to the client so that they are fully informed.
Detailed Engineering
After the design engineering stage is complete and specifications and requirements
defined, the project is partitioned by the project leader into major components such as
boiler plant, superheaters, economisers, combustion equipment, controls &
instrumentation, fuel handling, chimneys, etc.
These sections are in turn assigned to design engineers
from various disciplines for each section of the works. Each engineer will carry out the
specific design calculations ensuring that any special or unusual requirements of the
project are integrated into the design. Due cognisance is taken of local, national and
international trends, rules, regulations and codes of practice in the detailed design. |
