Engineering kicks off with a definition to identify the best options and trade-offs. This is followed by reliable Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) and Detailed Engineering and Design (DED), with each phase concluded without muddled or unforeseen cost escalations. At RMC, our integrated multidisciplinary proffers innovative, cost-saving results whether for greenfield or brownfield projects for a range of offshore and onshore applications.
We aim to deliver value-adding services and are happy to support projects of varying throughout the life of Asset. We provide specialist engineering and technical services for project and customer satisfaction.
We are also proud of our ability to leverage technical expertise at early stages of a project to evaluate the feasibility, determine options and offer sound engineering solutions wherewith our Clients’ objectives may be achieved.
SELECT ENGINEERING
Concept definition provides the vital link between Field/Asset Development Planning and FEED. It adds further clarity for feasibility, especially in respect to commercial viability and helps concept selection prior to progressing into the FEED phase. Activities in SELECT Engineering are carried out to suit, and address realities/factors encompassing development planning strategies and may include:
– Preliminary P&ID Development.
– Field Architecture Development.
– Basis of Design Definition.
– Development of Field Layout.
– Enquiries for Long Lead or High-Cost items.
– Project Execution Plan.
– Cost Estimating / Economic Impact Assessment.
– Engagement of relevant third-party groups to reduce uncertainties e.g. regulatory bodies, past operators, OEMs.
We work towards optimizing selected concepts prior to front-end implementation and ensuring FEED can progress without major changes bearing significant impact on cost estimates, project timeline and technical offerings.
FRONT-END ENGINEERING & DESIGN (FEED)
At RMC, our FEED process enhances and converts the most beneficial outcome from SELECT engineering into a feasible, practicable concept/project that can be executed and implemented within the boundaries of Clients expectations, risk levels and objectives.
The quality of the FEED phase is proportional to the risk of scope growth on a project. Optimization of concepts may be achieved through highly efficient Front-End Implementation, providing a podium to make sound decisions and execute projects with limited risks of technical, commercial or schedule deviations.
The key core services we provide, which ensure/enable the production of a quality FEED are:
– FEED Management.
– FEED Execution.
– Risk Review & Management.
– Construction Support.
– Procurement Support.
We can provide FEED either as a progression from our involvement in the development phases or as a standalone service. Our capabilities and experience in execution and operations drive our thinking from the project outset, offering our clients the security of schedule and cost through subsequent phases.
Our multi-disciplinary teams aim to provide high-quality engineering solutions tailored to each client’s specific development and collaborate with specialist teams to provide specialist solutions.
Our multidiscipline engineering capability spans:
– Cost and schedule estimation.
– Instrument and control engineering.
– Procurement support.
– Pipeline engineering.
– Structural engineering.
– Piping engineering.
– Process and facilities engineering.
– Technical Safety Engineering.
At the start of every project, regardless of scope, an integrated team with relevant skills and experience is formed and can leverage, at any time, on the strengths of our technical partnerships to support development in the following areas:
– Subsea and Onshore pipelines.
– Floating facilities (FPSOs, FSOs, Offloading Terminals).
– Subsea production infrastructure.
– Fixed platforms and structures.
– Onshore gas/oil gathering, separation, treatment and export.
Practical, operational experience significantly improves our SELECT engineering and front-end design and enables seamless progression into subsequent project phases from DED through Commissioning.
DETAILED ENGINEERING DESIGN (DED)
Every detailed design project requires a unique engineering solution tailored to the specific needs of each client and that addresses optimization of risk exposure, technical, cost and schedule execution.
In detailed design, we convert FEED outcomes, to deliver an engineering design which can be safely and efficiently constructed, installed, and commissioned. The safety of our engineering designs is a major driver for overall engineering output.
We leverage on our relationships with equipment suppliers, fabricators, and specialist service providers during the Detailed Engineering Design phase, as we understand the importance of viability and constructability of our designs.
We provide a comprehensive detail design service using established procedures supported by a fully validated suite of design tools and state-of-the-art software.
Our priority is to make sure our client’s assets are properly constructed, safely installed, and last for their design lifetimes. Integrated project teams can draw on experienced construction and installation resources for guidance of design towards meeting and exceeding the Client’s expectations.
We also pride ourselves on our ability to offer flexible and tailored solutions to Client’s requirements for projects, whether cost-driven or schedule-driven for:
– Modular production facilities.
– Offshore platforms and jackets.
– Floating production system topsides.
– Subsea infrastructure and pipelines.
– Offshore offloading terminals.
– Offshore mooring structures.
Our capabilities include:
– Multidiscipline engineering
– 2D and 3D analysis and design software
– Greenfield and brownfield cost estimates, scheduling and planning
– EPC contractor selection support
– Fabrication and procurement support
– Commissioning and handover
– Project Management
– Design Verification
– Materials selection
