Project engineering
Thoughtful project engineering from start to delivery
Our project engineers ensure that projects run smoothly, safely, and under control from start to finish. We translate functional requirements into concrete technical solutions, coordinate the various engineering disciplines, and safeguard the quality, planning, and feasibility of the design.
Engineering Work Preparation
Work preparation forms the link between engineering and execution. In this phase, a design is translated into a practical, executable plan, with all technical details, materials, and activities worked out in advance.
Well-organized work preparation prevents misunderstandings, enhances safety, and ensures projects are delivered efficiently and on schedule.
Our Services
During the work preparation phase, we ensure that all technical and organizational aspects are worked out in advance. This includes:
Developing and monitoring the project schedule
Coordination with disciplines such as process, mechanical, automation, and utilities
Stakeholder communication with the client, suppliers, and the execution team
Review of P&IDs for completeness, functionality, and constructability
Preparation of datasheets for equipment, valves/fittings, and instrumentation
Selection of components based on process conditions, standards, and hygiene requirements
Layout review of installations, piping, and equipment
Preparation of material lists (MTO / BOM)
Requesting quotes from suppliers and contractors
Supplier selection based on price, quality, and lead time
Our structured approach
Our work preparation starts from the existing design and project input. We analyze P&IDs, layouts, and technical specifications to determine which materials, components, and activities are required.
In doing so, we work closely with other disciplines within the project. Through timely coordination with engineering, automation, and execution, we prevent technical choices from causing problems later on. Suppliers are involved at an early stage for technical verification and lead time checks.
All required information is documented in material lists, datasheets, and schedules, so that execution and installation can take place in a structured manner.
Customer benefits
Good work preparation delivers immediate, measurable benefits:
Less downtime or delay during installation
Prevention of missing materials or incorrect components
Improved collaboration between engineering, suppliers, and execution
Higher installation quality and reduced failure costs
Reliable and safe start-up of installations
More efficient realization of expansions or modifications in existing production environments
Cost Engineering
Cost engineering focuses on providing insight into, and control over, costs throughout the entire project. By analyzing and optimizing CAPEX and OPEX from the design stage onwards, we support reliable execution and a solid business case. This prevents financial surprises and ensures that projects meet both technical standards and business objectives.
Our Services
Our team acts as the central point of contact for all cost-related matters and works closely with suppliers, contractors, and internal teams. In practice, we carry out:
Cost estimates based on design and specifications
Comparisons of supplier options and scenarios
Analysis of CAPEX and OPEX for different design choices
Assessment of technical standards and project risks
Preparation of well-substantiated business cases and budgets
Validation of quotes and contracts with contractors and suppliers
Our structured approach
We begin by gathering project input, including design data, specifications, and technical standards. We then:
Model multiple cost and scenario analyses
Simulate OPEX over the lifetime of the installation
Identify critical cost items and optimization opportunities
Validate estimates with suppliers, contractors, and internal teams
Create transparent reporting as a basis for decision-making

Risk and Safety
Risk and safety are crucial within every project. This focus area centers on identifying, assessing, and controlling hazards in installations, processes, and work environments.
Through early risk analysis and the application of safety procedures, we ensure that projects operate safely, reliably, and efficiently. This is essential when designing, expanding, or modifying production processes where safety and continuity are top priorities.

Commissioning
Commissioning is a critical project phase in which design and execution come together. Its goal is to make installations, piping, tanks, and systems operational and reliable in accordance with specified requirements and standards. A well-executed commissioning process ensures that flows, pressures, temperatures, and other process parameters function correctly, allowing production to start safely and efficiently.
