Keeping your project in spec, on schedule, and within budget starts long before execution begins. Whether your project involves an expansion, modernization of existing lines, or packaging innovation, preliminary engineering is a crucial first step for turning ideas into a strategic capital investment. By taking the time to explore all options in detail and visualize your facility at a high level early, you can lay the foundation for success and be properly prepared as you move your project into detailed design and beyond.

Our key preliminary engineering services include:
- Scope of work summaries Align all stakeholders early with an overview of the key tasks, deliverables, and objectives of the project and a definition of what will be done, by whom, and within what constraints.
- Process flow diagrams See a visual representation of your processes, including the flow of material throughout your facility, major steps, and relationships between different components.
- Concept CAD layouts Explore design options and identify potential layout issues early by conceptualizing workflows and the physical arrangement of equipment and utilities within your facility.
- Capital planning estimates Gain the financial insight needed to make strategic decisions, secure funding, and allocate resources.
- Equipment lists Ensure all the major equipment and key technical specifications for your process are identified early so that you can appropriately budget for and coordinate procurement and installation.
- Process/packaging utility requirements Identify all the essential services and resources needed to run your processes efficiently, safely, and in compliance with any applicable regulations.
- Master planning Align all the elements of the preliminary engineering phase and set the stage for the strategic direction of your project with a cohesive plan that ensures your project stays in sync with your overall business strategy and long-term goals.
