Program Overview

Project Engineering - from Project to Completion (PE6026)

Module Goal

To provide engineering overview of the life cycle of a project, from bid and award to final handover. To outline and track each step as the project passes through the design and procurement phases, to the construction phase and on to commissioning, validation and qualification phases before final handover of the project to the client.

Module Content

Project teams, Bid/No Bid strategy, Concept studies, Basis of Design studies, Detailed Design, Roles and interactions of the Departments in the Engineering Design House to produce a project package for construction (3D design, HVAC, piping, mechanical, process, civil, structural, architectural, project controls, procurement). Deliverables per phase; Project documentation (P&IDs, Isometrics, Equipment lists, IO lists, Drawings, scopes of works etc.) per discipline from design to construction. Project documentation from construction (Test packs, Handover dossiers) to commissioning validation qualification to handover management tracking and storage of engineering and project data (Master documents, rev-up and as-built / redline procedures) Introduction to information management and asset centric project delivery. New technologies and its use across the industry.

Why Choose

On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

1. Describe how a project passes through each phase from award to handover;
2. Outline the relationships between the design departments and the deliverables they produce;
3. Detail the documents produced at each stage and demonstrate an how they relate to each other;
4. Detail the respective document requirements for handover at each stage;
5. Review engineering documents, assess project data and gain an understanding of how it flows through the project.
6. Demonstrate an understanding of the "asset/tag centric" model for project delivery and how the industry is evolving with the advances in digital technologies
