EPC Engineering Deliverables

From front-end planning (FEP) through project execution, it is crucial to exchange information and collaborate within project teams as well as within engineering disciplines.

At H+M Industrial EPC, we take pride in producing detailed, high-quality engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) engineering deliverables for every project phase to ensure clear communication, total transparency, collaboration, and ultimately, project success.

In this article, we provide a list of the most common EPC engineering deliverables throughout the entire project life cycle.

EPC Engineering Deliverables: FEP

‍

FEP, also called front-end loading (FEL), is a valuable process in the capital project life cycle that lays the framework for project success. It includes the development of strategic information and key documentation necessary for project owners to address potential risks, decide whether or not to move forward with the project and commit resources, and maximize the potential for project success.

EPC Engineering Deliverables: Detail Engineering and Design
‍

‍

During detail engineering and design (the start of project execution), all project team members work together to develop the optimal design for the project’s success that strikes a balance between budget and efficiency. The end result of this phase is a set of highly disciplined drawings that will be used for construction.
