Feasibility Study

Feasibility studies are evaluations and analyses of a proposed project’s potential, informed by research and investigations that substantiate the decision-making process. A feasibility study assesses the practicality of a proposed project or system, explores the strengths and weaknesses of an existing business or a prospective investment, evaluates opportunities and threats within the surrounding context, and ultimately gauges the likelihood of success.

Generally, feasibility studies precede the technical development and implementation of a project. A feasibility study appraises the project’s potential for success. Therefore, it must be conducted with an objective and impartial approach to provide informed insights.

Types of feasibility studies include:

  • Economic feasibility: Examines whether the project is financially viable. This stage involves evaluating the project’s costs, revenues, and benefits.
  • Technical feasibility: Assesses the technical resources and requirements, evaluating the technical viability of executing the project.
  • Time feasibility: Estimates the project’s timeline and plans the allocation of resources. If the project’s duration is excessively long and cannot meet the desired objectives, the project may not be justifiable and could face setbacks.
  • Socio-environmental-safety feasibility: Considers the project’s societal, environmental, and safety implications.

Sepahan Beyond Research, with over a quarter-century of experience, has undertaken numerous technical and economic feasibility studies as an engineering consulting firm in the steel industry. To access project portfolios, kindly proceed from here.

Conceptual and Basic Engineering Design

The engineering design process commences from the conceptual design stage. This stage determines the foundational processes and functions of the significant systems comprising the project, proposing multiple options to fulfill the project’s objective. Ultimately, the superior choice is identified through a reassessment of feasibility studies, if deemed necessary. Within this stage, the designer scrutinizes all inputs, outputs, capacities, and functionalities, orchestrating the project’s overall structure.

Subsequently, in the basic design stage, the specifications of the primary components of the scheme or project are ascertained based on preliminary data sheets and thorough engineering calculations. The designs produced during this phase encompass process design, equipment, piping, civil and structural, electrical, control, and instrumentation. The documentation produced in this phase includes BFD, PFD, P&ID, PLOT PLAN, and SPECIFICATIONS. Basic design encompasses the design philosophy and rationale, requisite codes and standards, indispensable diagrams and drawings, and the compilation of system-specific technical specifications.

It is noteworthy that Sepahan Beyond Research alignment with the cutting-edge global trajectory, offers basic and detailed engineering services under the paradigm of Building Information Modeling (BIM), leveraging a team of highly skilled personnel and the most advanced software and hardware infrastructure.

Conceptual and basic engineering design, spanning various segments within the nation’s steel industry value chain, has been a cornerstone service of Sepahan Beyond Research for over a quarter-century. To access project portfolios, kindly proceed from here.

Detail Engineering Design

Based on the information from the basic design phase, this stage involves the review and revision of basic design documents, final calculations, preparation of execution and fabrication drawings (Shop Drawings), and finalization of technical specifications and other documents, including:

  • Process Section: Updating Process Data Sheets, developing control indices, and others.
  • Equipment Section: Technical specifications, determining tests, and technical inspections.
  • Piping Section: Preparing models and drawings, isometric drawings, stress calculations, item quantity lists, and others.
  • Instrumentation Section: Preparing detailed drawings, circuit diagrams, junction boxes, fire detection and alarm systems, and others.
  • Electrical Section: Preparing technical specifications for generators, transformers, control panels, grounding connections, load calculations, and cable connections.

– Civil and Structural Section: Preparing foundation drawings, building layouts, drainage systems, and estimating construction quantities.

Technical Inspection

Technical inspection involves meticulously examining the technical specifications of a component, alongside conducting a series of tests and assessments. This rigorous process aims to determine the component’s compliance with predefined standards. Typically, these tests are performed during the component’s utilization to ascertain its suitability for a specific application.

Inspection Activities often include:

* Precise measurements

* Rigorous testing

* Comprehensive assessments

* Thorough evaluations

* Comparing findings against established standards

Upon successful verification and confirmation of the test results, the component is deemed fit for its intended use within the system.

Common Processes in Technical Inspection:

  • Technical specifications review: Verifying component specifications against relevant standards.
  • Manufacturer inspection verification: Confirming the validity of inspections conducted by the manufacturer.
  • Raw material inspection: Examining the quality and conformity of raw materials.
  • In-situ inspection: Inspecting components during installation and operation.
  • Technical documentation and test certification: Reviewing and approving technical documentation and test certificates.

Technical inspections are often categorized into four distinct levels:

  1. Inspection During Manufacturing (IDM): This stage focuses on inspecting material quality, welder qualifications, welding procedures, mechanical testing, production line and equipment quality, and both destructive and non-destructive testing. Upon successful completion, a certification of approval is issued.
  2. Scheduled Inspections: Conducted according to predefined schedules with meticulous precision. These inspections encompass system monitoring and control, final component inspections, welder qualification document review, specialized test supervision, packaging inspections, dimensional and surface inspections, and more.
  3. Final Inspection and Testing: This level pertains to finished goods. Random samples are selected to assess their quality through component control, visual inspection, dimensional checks, and other relevant procedures. It culminates in the issuance of a product certification of approval.
  4. Final Product Inspection and Control: At this stage, all documentation and test certificates are thoroughly reviewed. This includes examining final technical reports, quality and quantity control, verifying issued certificates, inspecting paint and coating, and packaging inspection. Finally, a transportation certificate is issued.
