Front End Engineering / Front End Loading (FEL)
Front End Loading (FEL) is a common and critical project development process that involves detailed planning and evaluation to ensure successful execution for many organizations. Divided into distinct phases – typically FEL 1, FEL 2, and FEL 3. This methodology enables clients to make informed decisions, optimize investments, and mitigate risks throughout the project lifecycle. Each stage builds upon the previous one, ensuring a comprehensive approach from conceptualization to operation.
For Clients utilizing the FEL process, we help by maximizing value and minimizing uncertainty, ensuring their projects are set up for success from the outset with defined decisions gates to continue, re-work, or abandon a project.
FEL-1: Conceptual Development
- Define project objectives, high-level scope, and business needs.
- Conduct feasibility studies and develop preliminary cost estimates.
- Perform initial risk assessments to identify key challenges.
- Develop a business case and secure approval to move forward to FEL 2
FEL-2: Preliminary Design & Feasibility
- Refine the project scope and evaluate alternative solutions.
- Determine major vendors and scope gaps on process
- Develop execution strategies and detailed feasibility studies.
- Update cost estimates and schedules with greater precision.
- Begin stakeholder engagement and regulatory planning.
- Refine potential site conditions and locations
- Develop initial / preliminary design documents
FEL-3: Detailed Planning & Engineering
- Finalize project scope, design, and execution plans.
- Conduct detailed engineering
- Conduct comprehensive cost estimates and risk assessments.
- Prepare procurement strategies and pre-construction documentation.
- Ensure readiness for execution and construction
