We provide our core Electrical and Instrument Engineering and Design Services as well as Layout, HVAC, and Fire Engineering

General

We are experienced in all phases of the engineering cycle, from Scoping and Conceptual design, through to Start Up nd Operations.

As the project definition starts to take form, we closely interface with the major disciplines of civil, structural, mechanical and process engineering. We build an interface table that identifies key activities in these mentioned disciplines, and call out the electrical / instrument deliverables that will be developed.

The output from these deliverables feeds back to the major disciplines one more, and the cycle becomes refined. We prepare preliminary equipment lists and deliverables (for all phases) and make our first Order of Magnitude cost calculations.

I addition these costs, we include other management and overhead costs, as well as risk mitigation estimates. We then roll these costs back to the EPC/EPCM. We take care to be fully transparent to ensure we neither have gaps or doubling.

The process is continually refined as the project progresses through the three stages of FEL.

​Some of the activities and deliverables we deliver during the detail phase include:

Electrical Engineering

Our electrical engineering capabilities cover the full spectrum of requirements for a safe and efficient design. We have been involved in onshore projects with high voltage distribution of 132/69kV, medium voltage utilization of 13.8 to 3.3 kV, and low voltage utilization of 600/480V systems. Our offshore/marine work includes MV and LV installations.
