Front End Engineering and Design
As part of pre-project planning, Front End Engineering Design work is early design work done after conceptual business planning and prior to detailed design. Emerson can provide a turnkey solution that includes FEED, equipment selection, commissioning services, and implementation and operational capabilities.
Emerson’s capabilities and experience are especially valuable when time is at a premium. When the stakes are high, our experienced project management, engineering, and single point of accountability for the entire instrumentation and automation system make a crucial difference.
From full Main Automation Contractor (MAC) scope, to Main Instrument Vendor (MIV), to supply of the automation system and configuration services, Emerson can help. Contact your local Emerson sales office or representative today.

Identified and minimized project risk
With project staff alignment, business drivers and constraints defined, the project risk is identified and minimized. Business management can proceed with full disclosure of opportunities to mitigate risk and/or project alternatives.
Lower costs
Completion of a FEED study results in a well-defined scope for the rest of the project, which in turn results in a more accurate estimate, lower contingency, and typically lower overall project costs. The effort and upfront cost of the FEED delivers major benefits, as this is work that would otherwise be done in the first 10-25% of detailed engineering. The resulting “blue print” is further refined during the detailed design phase of the project.
Faster implementation
Studies (see opposite page) show that projects with a thorough FEED study are more likely to be completed on time. Early identification of potential problem areas and/or necessary changes allow for early resolution, resulting in less impact to the project. The schedule is defined and the project planned from start to finish including resource requirements and hardware procurement.
Greater user involvement and management support
Studies also show that early planning, project definition and goal setting are major factors in gaining user involvement and management support. These factors greatly increase the opportunity for a successful process automation project.
