This service is usually offered in conjunction with System Engineering, Constructability & Construction Management to ensure optimum value creation from the Modularisation option.
Construction & Construction Management describes a Decision Process how and to which extent the Modularisation option can be determined within the subsequent project phases in 6 separate stages:-
Business Framing (FEL1) Phase:
- Stage 1 – Key Investigations / Constraints: during this very early stage it will be determined if it is worthwhile to undertake further studies to clarify that Modularisation could merit.
- Stage 2 – Module Screening Study: based on multi-disciplinary assessments a weight model indicates the overall benefit of Modularisation and allows further steps into Stage 3.
Scope Development (FEL2) Phase:
- Stage 3 – Module Quantification Study: the ideal degree of Modularisation is determined for the project and for each of the main areas (process, utility and off-sites) the desired extent of work to be removed from the site is defined.
Project Planning (FEL3) Phase:
- Stage 4 – Module Proving Study: layout concept and layout philosophies are finalized, consultants and contractors are engaged to advise on methods etc. Suppliers will be approached, development of detailed design can commence.
- Stage 5 – Module Definition Phase: engineering activities accelerate, long lead items will be procured, some contracts awarded, installation sequence is agreed. All modules are defined and sized while the module yard scope is fully identified.
Project Execution (Engineering & Construction) Phase:
- Stage 6 – Module Execution Phase: detailed engineering is carried out which includes detailed design, procurement, shipping and construction. After pre-commissioning and commissioning the plant will be started-up and proceed into the Operation phase.
