Phases of the Engineering Process
Concept Engineering
Concept Engineering
In the concept engineering phase, information is gathered about the client’s needs, decisions are made on which of these needs to address and by what means. In concept engineering, we explore various alternatives for technologies, processes, and locations, and we ideate how to advance the project. Preliminary cost calculations are also made at this stage.
The concept engineering is followed by feasibility studies. Multiple options are still involved, which are further examined and considered for site placement, processes, technology selection, infrastructure, and environmental impacts, along with preliminary layouts. Permitting processes should also be initiated at this stage.

Preliminary Engineering
Preliminary Engineering
Preliminary engineering is the most crucial phase in large and challenging projects, as the most important decisions affecting costs and schedules are made here. Good preliminary engineering saves money and resources and reduces errors in later engineering phases and execution. Documents produced during the preliminary engineering phase form the basis of the investment proposal.
In the preliminary engineering phase, we focus on one selected concept and perform more detailed calculations and designs required by the project, such as production, processes, and costs, and advance visualization. Preliminary engineering clarifies the necessary scope and overall costs, providing more precise initial data for further engineering and outlining required ancillary functions.

Basic Engineering
Basic Engineering
In the basic engineering phase, detailed implementation requirements and plans are prepared based on the preliminary engineering, defining the required process, main equipment, general plant layout, and system architecture. Basic engineering produces the necessary documents for detailed engineering and equipment procurement.
This phase involves most of the decisions critical for project implementation and budget, solidifying most of the costs while refining the cost estimate. Basic engineering can be divided into procurement engineering and functional engineering, both of which are areas of top expertise at Fimpec.

Detailed Engineering
Detailed Engineering
In the detailed engineering phase, we prepare the necessary plans for the implementation of the investment so that the project can move into the procurement phase and create the required equipment procurement and contract documents. This phase includes, for example, the project’s structural, architectural, and main engineering as well as specialized engineering as required by the project, detailed in their respective sections.
