Building Strong Foundations for Seamless Project Execution

Basic Engineering Design

Basic Engineering Design Services

Establish the basis for detailed design.

Establish the technical basis that detailed engineering can build on. Teckniv translates the selected process concept into discipline requirements, preliminary arrangements and equipment definitions. The emphasis is on consistent inputs, clearly stated design criteria and coordinated interfaces before detailed drawings and procurement packages are developed.

Who we support

EPC contractors, consultants and asset owners that have selected a process concept and need a consistent technical basis for equipment definition and detailed design.

01 / Engineering capabilities

Capabilities shaped around your project.

The scope is agreed around the decisions, interfaces and engineering outputs your team needs. These work areas can be combined into a defined package.

Process basis and system definition

Develop PFDs, P&IDs and design criteria that describe the required process and utility systems. Record the operating conditions and assumptions used by other disciplines.

Equipment and materials

Prepare equipment definitions, technical datasheets and material selection criteria. Identify information that must be confirmed through vendors or further calculations.

Layouts and discipline inputs

Develop preliminary general arrangements and 2D or 3D layouts. Establish electrical load lists, single-line diagrams, instrument indexes and control philosophy inputs.

Design review and handover

Review safety, operability and discipline consistency. Provide a controlled package of design inputs and unresolved actions for FEED development or detailed engineering, as the project execution plan requires.

02 / Your engineering package

Clear deliverables. Ready for the next team.

The deliverable list is agreed at the start. Each issue identifies its purpose, revision and outstanding inputs for the next project stage.

  • Basic engineering design basis
  • PFDs and P&IDs
  • Equipment datasheets and material criteria
  • Preliminary general arrangements
  • Electrical load lists and single-line diagrams
  • Instrument index and control philosophy

03 / How we work

A clear route from requirement to handover.

We establish the design basis first, then develop and review the package with your project team.

  1. 01

    Agree the requirement

    Confirm the project basis and discipline boundaries.

  2. 02

    Develop the package

    Develop the core technical documents and layouts.

  3. 03

    Review & coordinate

    Review consistency between equipment and system requirements.

  4. 04

    Issue & hand over

    Issue the basic engineering package with open items identified.

04 / The technical context

Aligned with your facility and requirements.

The equipment duty, project location and client standards determine the methods, platforms and acceptance criteria.

Industries & applications

Process manufacturing, oil and gas, chemicals, power, industrial utilities and water treatment, including greenfield facilities and plant modifications.

Software & digital delivery

CAD drawings, engineering calculations, equipment schedules and discipline lists are prepared in the client-agreed formats. The package establishes the data structure and document references that subsequent design teams will develop.

Standards & design basis

The basic design basis records governing codes, client specifications, material criteria and operating conditions. Preliminary safety reviews and regulatory interfaces are identified before detailed decisions become embedded in procurement and layout.

05 / Before you begin

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to common scope and coordination questions.

Does basic engineering always come before FEED?
Project terminology and contracting strategies differ. The required maturity, deliverables and relationship to FEED should be agreed in the project execution plan.
Can existing basic engineering documents be completed or checked?
Yes. The work can begin with a gap review of available documents and a defined scope for validation, completion and interface updates.
How does basic engineering differ from detailed engineering?
Basic engineering establishes design criteria, process requirements, major equipment definitions and system arrangements. Detailed engineering develops those decisions into coordinated procurement, fabrication and installation information.
Can basic engineering be developed from an existing FEED package?
Yes. The supplied FEED is reviewed for maturity, consistency and open actions. Missing inputs and required updates are agreed before the discipline basis is developed further.
