Concept and Feasibility Studies
• Most construction projects begin with recognition of a
need for a new facility.
• Long before designers start preparing drawings, and
certainly well before field construction can commence,
considerable thought must go into broad-scale planning.
• Elements of this phase include conceptual analyses,
technical and economic feasibility studies, and
environmental impact reports.
• For example, location is fundamental to planning for a
new industrial plant. Where can the plant are located to
provide desirable, nearby employment for an adequate
supply of skilled, productive workers? What are the
present and projected costs and customs associated
with the labour force?
• Commisioning
– Start up and trial
– Main objectives of commissioning:
• Prove performance prediction
• To pass test and check
• To search for hazard
• Correction of design
• Personnel training
– Operation and maintenance of facility.
– Technical support required
Activities of project closure
• Issuing certificates
– Completion certificate has consequences,
responsibility changed to client.
– Power of S.O ceased.
– L. A. D also ceased.
– Remedial works start
– CPC given.
Activities of project closure
• Preparing documentation
– Maintenance manual
• To tell the client on maintenance operation.
– Record drawing
• As built drawing, changes, variations, etc.
– Purchased equipment records
• Vendor should provide technical back up.
• Technical specification, test certificate, operation
manual.
– Correspondence
• Proper storage of legal correspondence.
