Category: Technical – Plant and Piping Layout

In Part 1 of this series, I made the case that most end-of-FEED cost estimates don’t fail because of bad estimating technique. They fail because the engineering input that fed into them was incomplete, out of date, or handed over without the context the cost team needed to use it correctly. The Basis of Estimate…

There’s a particular kind of pressure that builds as a FEED phase winds down. Drawings are maturing, equipment lists are getting firmer, and somewhere in the background, the project controls team is assembling the cost estimate that will go in front of the client — or more accurately, in front of the client’s investment committee.…

A deep-dive into one of the most underestimated risks in process plant design — and how to prevent it during FEED. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Liquid pockets in flare headers are one of the most underestimated safety risks in process plant design. They form silently, corrode piping over years, and then — at the exact moment of…
