Detail Engineering Design (DED)
Detailed Engineering Design (DED) is an engineering stage that produces complete and detailed technical documents so that a facility, factory, building, or infrastructure can be constructed, manufactured, installed, tested, and operated in accordance with the project's technical, safety, quality, cost, and schedule requirements.
At this stage, all concepts and basic designs (Conceptual Design and FEED) are translated into working drawings (Issued for Construction/IFC), technical specifications, engineering calculations, bill of materials, and procurement documents ready for use by contractors and vendors.
Purpose of Detailed Engineering Design
The main objectives of DED include:
Scope of Detailed Engineering Design
The DED involves all engineering disciplines working in an integrated manner.
|
1. Process Engineering Outputs include: * Process Flow Diagram (PFD) |
4. Civil Engineering Includes: * Site Development Deliverables: * Civil General Arrangements |
7. Instrumentation & Control Engineering Includes: * Instrument Index |
|
2. Mechanical Engineering The scope of work includes: * Equipment Specification Outputs: * Mechanical Drawings |
5. Structural Engineering Main output: * Steel Structure Design |
8. Safety Engineering Work: * Fire Fighting System
