Basic Engineering (FEL 2 – FEL 3)

At DELPRO, we develop Basic Engineering services under a world-class approach, aimed at transforming the guidelines defined in conceptual engineering into robust, executable technical solutions aligned with the strategic objectives of the project.

As a stage following the validation of conceptual engineering and feasibility studies, our multidisciplinary team consolidates the technical definition of the project, ensuring that each client requirement is incorporated with precision through the development of drawings, 3D models, technical specifications, and key documentation for proper implementation.

Our methodology is based on international standards such as PMI (PMBOK), AACE (Class 3 – 2 Estimates), and Front-End Loading models (FEL 2–3), enabling the reduction of uncertainty, optimization of costs and schedules, and the establishment of a solid basis for bidding, construction, and commissioning processes.

Technical Development and Design Consolidation

During this stage, DELPRO deepens the level of engineering, integrating all disciplines under a systemic approach:

• Optimization of Conceptual Engineering
  Technical adjustments and improvements based on new variables, operational conditions, and client requirements.
• Information Gathering and Stakeholder Management
  Structured collection of technical background information through best practices in stakeholder management.
• Development of Diagrams and Technical Documentation
  Preparation of PFD, P&ID, plant drawings, general layouts, and distribution schemes for the project.
• Equipment Specification and Technical Lists
  Detailed definition of the required equipment, materials, and systems.
• 3D Modeling and Multidisciplinary Coordination
  Integration of disciplines for early detection of interferences and design optimization.
• Engineering Calculations by Discipline
  Development of calculation sheets and technical memoranda supporting the design.
• Technical Reports and Improvement Proposals
  Documentation of optimizations focused on efficiency, constructability, and operation.
• Refined Cost Estimate and Schedule
  Update of costs and investments under AACE standards, together with detailed planning.
