O+B Engineering Projects
The projects department works hand-in-hand with our clients who need to build a new manufacturing plant or carry out complex installations or optimize existing ones. From conceptual design to the execution of a complete turnkey project.
What types of projects does O+B offer?
There are 4 types of projects:
1. Conceptual Design
2. Basic Engineering
3. Detail Engineering
4. Turnkey Projects
These types of projects differ by their level of detail,
which influences the economic valuation uncertainty of the offer
presented for each project.
Conceptual Design
- Prior plant visit
- Process flow diagram
- Machinery definition
- Installations definition
- Basic layout
- Offer for equipment and basic elements
Basic engineering
- Prior plant visit
- PFD (Process Flow Diagram) > P&ID (Process and Instrumentation Design)
- Machinery definition
- Installations definition
- Process simulations for bottleneck detection
- Basic layout > 2D layout with elevation views
- Equipment list with main specifications
- Pressure drop calculations to define pipe diameters
- Static and dynamic load calculations needed for civil works design
- Electrical consumption calculation required for the plant
- Compressed air consumption calculation required for the plant
- Definition of hardware architecture for the Control System
- Preliminary project execution planning
- Definitive offer for equipment and materials
- Approximate valuation of standard assembly
- Equipment offer and preliminary installations offer
Detail Engineering
In addition to the full scope of the Basic Engineering
Project described above, the following is added:
- Definitive TAG list with details of electrical signals involved in the
project. - Definitive 3D layout.
- Definitive Bill of Materials (BOM) calculated from 3D drawings.
- Definitive construction drawings for equipment.
- Definitive construction drawings for process platforms.
- Definitive isometric construction drawings for all piping (process and
utilities). - Definitive electrical schematics.
- Definitive cable list.
- Definitive pneumatic piping network drawings.
- Mechanical and electrical assembly offer without uncertainty.
- Equipment and installations offer
Turnkey Projects
At O+B, we offer Turnkey Projects that cover from
Detail Engineering to the complete materialization of the work.
We handle integrally each process stage:
- Supply management
- Installation
- Verification testing
- Commissioning
- Guaranteeing our clients a reliable, efficient, and worry-free solution
When does each type of engineering project apply?
1. Conceptual Design
-
- When the client has a very preliminary idea of their objectives, without yet knowing the land area required to achieve them.
- The project objective is to guide the client on what they will need and inform them of the approximate required economic investment.
2. Basic Engineering Project
-
- When the client already has clear production objectives (what to produce and how much), and even has land available to carry out the project.
- The project objective is to provide the client with details on building requirements, what electrical power contract they will need, etc., and inform them of the approximate required economic investment.
3. Detail Engineering Project
-
- When the client has decided to activate the investment that the construction of a new manufacturing plant entails, and therefore, the constructive design of said plant is required.
-
- The project objective is to provide the client with all necessary drawings and documentation for constructing the new manufacturing plant.
