Design / Engineering
We are equipped to face any design/engineering challenge including:
- Proof of technology.
- Process scale-up from bench and pilot facilities to full-scale-production.
- Timing and coordination to execute fast-track design-build projects.
Our staff of more than 5,000 design engineers has millions of hours of experience gained on one-of-a-kind projects around the world. Their skill set includes the ability to design a facility that can remain cost-effective with built-in operating flexibility.
Because of our exposure to a variety of industries and regulatory agencies, we have created a multitude of approaches and innovations that are applied to our clients' projects. Our value-added tools and techniques include:
- Front-end Management Guideline—used to develop and validate project requirements prior to detailed design.
- PDRI (Project Definition Rating Index)— Construction Industry Institute (CII) tool to assess adequacy of front-end design and areas needing improvement prior to detail engineering.
- 3D CAD—Bentley MicroStation, AutoCAD, and Intergraph PDS systems.
- Smart Plant® Enterprise—Total plant design application that integrates all engineering disciplines with the complete design/procure/build process.
- Isogen—Extraction of isometrics from 3D CAD and generation of “intelligent data” reports.
- Smart Plant Design Review—3D model visualization and design review between design offices, job site, and client.
- 3D laser scanning—Cost-effective, fast, and accurate plant data acquisition and 3D design model data input system.
- Project Tracking System (PTS)— Integrated schedule and cost system to coordinate EPC activities.
