Engineering

H. Selcuk Agca, Giancarlo Cotone
Detailed engineering is performed basically to serve the physical realization of the project at the jobsite for having the plant built and started up subsequent to carrying out the purchasing, construction, commissioning, and startup. Almost all requisitions for supply of equipment and materials are prepared (or at least finalized) during the early periods of this stage, with some exclusions for long delivery items that need to be delivered earlier for meeting the plant completion date. Detail engineering specifies the material supply, manufacturing, and construction information to the highest level of detail sufficient for enabling vendors and construction contractors to proceed with their works without any ambiguities on what to do.
Quality Management during Oil and Gas Project Phases
Published in Abdul Razzak Rumane, Quality Management in Oil and Gas Projects, 2021
Detailed engineering activities are more in-depth than the design activities in the FEED stage. The size, shape, levels, performance characteristics, technical details, and requirements of all the individual components are established and integrated into the detailed engineering. The detailed engineering drawings involve development of detailed plans, sections, and elevations that are drawn to scales, principle dimensions are noted, and design calculations are checked to conform the accuracy of design and its compliance to the codes and standards.
SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
Published in Forrest D. Clark, A.B. Lorenzoni, Applied Cost Engineering, 1996
A contractor doing detailed engineering develops preliminary designs using specialized commercial software and, then, uses powerful commercial programs for two- and three-dimensional, computer-aided design and drafting (2D and 3D CADD) to complete all drawings. Equipment layout, structural steel, piping, electrical and instrumentation design is performed using a 3D CADD system. All remaining drawing are developed using 2D CADD.

The order-specific engineering in ETO contexts is a complex transactional and iterative process with substantial uncertainty regarding the specific engineering activities to be undertaken before the detailed product specifications are finalised (Alfnes et al. 2021; Grabenstetter and Usher 2013, 2014). Managers in ETO companies must nevertheless estimate the scope and complexity of these activities and identify the relevant resources for these activities to enable resource and capacity planning for the engineering and design department(s) (Ghiyasinasab et al. 2021; Zijm 2000; Zorzini et al. 2008b). Determining detailed engineering activities and resources entails (1) identifying the design and engineering activities to be performed after order confirmation (Adrodegari et al. 2015) and (2) identifying the design and engineering capabilities required in different disciplines, e.g. mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, etc., and the workload for these activities in terms of, e.g. personnel, person-hours, etc. (Alfnes et al. 2021).
