Basic Engineering

Once the process engineering concept for plant expansion or the construction of a new plant has been determined, the basic engineering can commence. In the basic engineering phase, the results of the concept phase are checked again and detailed and the process engineering planning of the plant is brought to a conclusion during this phase.

In particular, the disciplines not yet or only superficially addressed during the concept phase, such as EMSR technology or pipeline planning, are initially processed within the scope of the basic engineering phase. Typically, equipment with longer lead times (long lead items) and larger package units are already scheduled during the basic engineering phase so that they are ready to order so as to avoid delays later on in the planning process. A schedule and cost estimate are also drawn up at the end of this phase as well as at the end of each planning phase.
