Standard Engineering Packages
The following table provides an overview of the various definitions associated with GSA's Standard Engineering Packages. In GSA's experience clients can use different definitions across these packages. GSA can amend our terminology in line with its clients upon request.
| Engineering Package | Definition |
|---|---|
| Feasibility / Options Studies | Technology, Commercial, Hazard, and Environmental studies to confirm feasibility or identify preferred options. Produce 'order of magnitude' capital cost estimates to confirm commercial viability. |
| Conceptual Engineering Package | Establishment of process engineering concept based on best available technology, and improving cost and schedule estimates for financial assessments and approval. |
| Basic Engineering Package (Front End Engineering & Design) | Development of process concept up to 'P&ID' status, including heat and mass balances, equipment datasheets, HAZOP safety reviews, project QRA's, plot plans etc., to facilitate accurate cost and schedule estimates. |
| Detailed Design Package | Detailed design of the process plant, including procurement specifications for all equipment, and construction drawings for all mechanical, piping, civils, buildings, plus electrical, instrumentation, and control/safety systems. |
| Procurement | Management of the purchasing and procurement phase of a project to ensure quality, technical compliance, and adherence to all legislative and commercial codes, schedules and cost budgets. |
| Construction Management & Commissioning | Planning and management of the fabrication and installation phase ensuring safe delivery of the project, in compliance with all required quality, schedule, performance, and commercial constraints. |
| Due Diligence Reports | Market Analysis, Review of Site Location and Environmental Impact, Technical Overview, CAPEX and OPEX Estimation, Financial Analysis and Risk, Project Management Strategy, Business Risk Analysis and Business Opportunity Identification, Business Plan. |
This matrix indicates the engineering activities and deliverables normally associated with each Standard Engineering Package. This can be modified, as required, to define the actual scope of work for any given project.
After issuing the Standard Engineering Package, the Client may request extra work that deviates from the defined scope of work. This project work shall be executed under the conditions specified in the projects contractual agreements. If this work can not be completed by GSA on its own, we will nominate prequalifed partners to undertake this work.
Unless noted otherwise, the format of the documentation supplied with a Standard Engineering Package shall consist of:
- Drawings - AutoCAD (Release 14), Adobe Reader PDF
- Specifications - Microsoft Word (Office 97), Adobe Reader PDF
- Data Sheets and Engineering Lists - Excel and Access (Office 97), Adobe Reader PDF
