Detailed Engineering-An essential aspect of engineering process

The roots of engineering are so widespread that the list of engineering services of a engineering consultancy could go on. Primary arteries of engineering service covers Process Engineering, Design & Detailed Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning and Digitization & Drafting. 

Design & detailed engineering is the connecting link between basic designing and the construction phase of any project. Detail engineering provides solutions for designs and documentation through integrated engineering. Essentially, spectrum of detailed engineering includes disciplines namely process, mechanical, piping, electrical, civil and instrumentation engineering.

Integral detailed engineering design comprises of meticulous documentations of piping and instrumentation diagrams (P & ID), process flow diagrams (PFD), 2D/3D models, isometrics, material take off (MTO), bill of materials and datasheets.

These engineering design solutions are immensely facilitated by the advanced computerization especially CAD technology. CAD is the technology employed to create, modify and analyze an engineering design. In addition to its extensive use in preparation of 3D models and/or 2D drawings, CAD also plays an important role throughout the engineering process from conceptual designs to analysis of assemblies. In recent years, utilization of CAD for engineering designs have seen a meteoric rise as it lowers the product development costs and greatly shortens design cycle. Furthermore, it enables designers to visualize the final product and thus helping them to perfect the minutest details. 

Design and detailed engineering service is a boon for multiple industries across various sectors such as gas refineries/plants, petrochemicals, power, fertilizer, pharmaceuticals to name a few. 

Any engineering service consultancy rendering design & detailed engineering solutions should ensure optimum operability, maintainability and safety of the project.
