Our process
We like to do things by the books.
Sales & Design
Sales Process & Conceptual Design
The sales process involves identifying the potential client, understanding their requirements and presenting possible solutions. It includes proposals, technical and commercial clarifications resulting in a final order agreement.
During the sales phase often a conceptual design is made and presented to client. This involves developing initial ideas and concepts that meet the client’s requirements. It also includes consulting possible suppliers for supply of various materials to investigate possible lead times and technical solutions.


Design & Engineering
Design & Engineering
The first step after being awarded the order is to start on the Basic Design of the unit. This involves Process Engineering, Equipment sizing calculations and set-up of Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) and Piping & Instrument Diagrams (P&ID’s).
Detailed Engineering includes for Vessel drawings and calculations, 3D Skid Modelling, Structural steel design and Piping designs incl. calculations. In this phase also complete E&I engineering will be executed. The goal is to create comprehensive plans that guide the project’s construction. Engineers analyze the designs to ensure they are feasible and meet all technical and safety standards. This phase may involve simulations, calculations, and adjustments to the design.
Sourcing
Securing the Essentials
This step involves procurement of all necessary materials, components, and services required for the project. It includes identifying potential suppliers, negotiating contracts, and ensuring timely delivery of quality materials.


Fabrication
Turning Plans into Reality
During fabrication, the various components like pressure vessels, steel structures and piping systems for the project are manufactured and constructed. This will take place in FB Group’s workshops by qualified personnel. Excellent detailed engineering, good workmanship and quality control are crucial to ensure all parts meet the required specifications. Once completed the individual components will be (hydro)tested to prove design integrity in accordance with code requirements. After items will be coated or receive other corrosion protection i.e. pickling & passivation.


Assembly
The Moment of Truth
In this phase, the fabricated components are assembled to form the final product. This involves putting together all the parts according to the design specifications. It includes for mechanical, structural and Instrumentation assembly.


Testing
Seamless Execution
The final step involves testing the assembled product to ensure it functions correctly and meets all performance and safety standards. This can include functional tests and quality assurance checks and even full Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT). Any issues identified are addressed and resolved before the project is released and prepared for transport.
Each of these steps is crucial for the successful execution of a project, ensuring that the final product meets the client’s expectations and industry standards. If you have any specific questions about any of these steps, feel free to contact us.
