Front End Engineering Design

Vecta have completed a number of FEED studies over the years including the following:

• $30M FEED study for a new manufacturing facility in Victoria. Part of this FEED study would comprise a 10% cost estimate for the detailed design, procurement, construction and commissioning phases of project delivery. The scope of work included:

  • Development of drawings and documents in the Process, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls disciplines;

  • Development of a detailed 3D model for the facility;

  • Scope preparation for detailed design and construction;

  • Project management including schedule, budget and technical queries;

  • +/- 10% cost estimate for detailed design, procurement, construction and commissioning. This included performing a Monte Carlo analysis to quantitatively analyse project risks.

• Vecta were engaged to conduct a FEED study for a new $140M coal seam gas 80 TJ/d central processing plant in the Surat Basin Queensland. Part of this FEED study would comprise a 10% cost estimate for the detailed design, procurement, construction and commissioning phases of project delivery. The scope of work included:

  • Development of drawings and documents in the Process, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Instrumentation & Controls disciplines;
