Outline

Module Goal

To provide engineering overview of the life cycle of a project, from bid and award to final handover. To outline and track each step as the project passes through the design and procurement phases, to the construction phase and on to commissioning, validation and qualification phases before final handover of the project to the client.

Module Content

Project teams, Bid/No Bid strategy, Concept studies, Basis of Design studies, Detailed Design, Roles and interactions of the Departments in the Engineering Design House to produce a project package for construction (3D design, HVAC, piping, mechanical, process, civil, structural, architectural, project controls, procurement). Deliverables per phase; Project documentation (P&IDs, Isometrics, Equipment lists, IO lists, Drawings, scopes of works etc.) per discipline from design to construction. Project documentation from construction (Test packs, Handover dossiers) to commissioning validation qualification to handover management tracking and storage of engineering and project data (Master documents, rev-up and as-built / redline procedures) Introduction to information management and asset centric project delivery. New technologies and its use across the industry.
