Engineering Design Services
Cross-sector experience combined with in-house engineering expertise, tools and capabilities
Our combination of engineering expertise, technical tools and cross-sector experience gives us the flexibility and engineering design services capability for both large and small projects. We produce reliable plans, drawings and specifications for clients in highly-regulated process environments such as the pharmaceutical, nuclear and food industries.
The FEG in-house engineering team cover Facility & Process Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Structural & Civil Engineering and ECI (Electrical, Control and Instrumentation) Engineering.

Front End Engineering Design (FEED)
Our Engineering Design Services team use a data-driven approach within the FEED stage, building the general framework of the project through diagrams, schematics and layouts that bridge the gap between feasibility/concept and detailed design stage, identifying any assumptions, exclusions or potential problems that could impact the project at a later point.
These early outlines determine project scope, risks, benefits, viability and available options to avoid more costly changes at the later stages.
Working alongside your internal project team, this stage includes technical material specifications of major elements/equipment within the project, accountability and communication structures (e.g. RACI charts), initial budgets and timelines, standards and guidelines and all associated documentation, including that used for EHS-Compliance such as LOPA, HAZOP, DSEAR and SIL. The outputs from this stage can be used to help develop tendering documents, internal business cases and project mobilisation.
Services and outputs covered at this stage can include:
- Factory layout planning
- Plant simulations
- FEED study
- 2D & 3D preliminary modelling
- Assembly layouts
- Process flow diagrams
- Line expansion design
- Process plans
- Automation strategy
- HAZOP, safety and ergonomic plans
- Project development strategy
- De-bottlenecking reviews
- Scheme design
- 3D and 2D CAD drafting and layout
- Building information modelling (BIM)
- Design reviews
- Value engineering & cost optimisation
- Tender development
- Site/Process modifications
- Preparation for Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) and permitted development rights
- Preparation for planning applications
- Building control application
In this turnkey project we designed a heat recovery system that used existing compressor heat. The project did not interrupt production and had delivered ROI within two years.
Detailed Design Engineering
We focus on developing practical solutions for your OPEX or CAPEX project, whether that be a new factory extension or site build, a new line or process improvement.
Within the detailed design stage, our engineers produce accurate costs, timings, technical specifications, detailed 3D/2D drawings/models and QA Assurance for your project, covering mechanical, electrical, automation, process and structural engineering disciplines.
Informed decision-making is guaranteed for your project team, with critical documentation provided to cover your HSE requirements including HAZOP, DSEAR and LOPA. We can offer this design stage while operating as your Principal Designer and our focus is always on minimised disruption and delivering your project quickly, on-budget and safely, using value engineering and lean principles.
