FEED development includes:
-
Development of Piping and Instrument Diagrams and control philosophy
-
Preparation of project equipment specifications
-
Preparation of process and mechanical datasheets for equipment
-
Preparation of major instrument & electrical datasheets such as multiphase flow-meters, Choke valves, emergency shutdown valves and switchboards
-
Development of Plant Layout, including equipment location, pipe routings, walkways, escapeways, buildings and room layouts
-
Offshore structural design of the topsides and substructure, if applicable
-
Design reviews including HAZID, ENVID, HAZOP, RAM, Constructability and others as necessary
-
