This work is normally contracted to EPC Contractor or PMC Consultancy, as an optional contract or through
bidding. The budget allocated for this stage is called FEED money. The product of the activity is called“FEED
Package” which amounts up to dozens of files and will be the basis of bidding for EPC Contract. The need to
define the amount of capital monies required to carry out a given project allows the management to make a
final decision using economic incentives or costs.
It is important to reflect client’s intentions and project specific requirements in to the FEED Package without
fail, in order to avoid significant change during EPC Phase. The FEED Work takes about 1 year in case of
large sized project such as LNG plant. As it is essential to maintain close communication with client, it
became
POWERED a common
BY practice that client stations at Contractor’s office during the work execution. In
international project-financed projects, the lending institutions (Banks/Financiers)are the ones who set the
level of accuracy required to evaluate a proposed loan.
Note:
Level of accuracy of information produced in this phase of project vary from one project to another
project,location,type of project .Many Engineering companies take a risk by using the FEED to specify and
purchase major equipment early in a project phase in order to save time and detail engineering – only to
subsequently realize that the effort was a major mistake because of inherent project and scope changes
later. Additionally, without detailed engineering done, a lot of project necessities will be left unattended and
major mistakes and omissions are made. Therefore, there may exist other interpretations or needs for a
FEED through various parts of the world.There is no engineering God or Court that fixes how all engineers
should interpret or employ engineering tools. Everyone is left to use his/her ingenuity and common sense in
applying the natural laws and resources found world-wide.
Activities involved in Front End Engineering and Design phase may differ from project to poject.However for
a brief understanding this can be broadly divided into three
1-Front End Engineering & Design
2-IT Planning
3-Engineering Automation
