Basic & FEED Engineering
Front-end engineering design that fixes the process, the plot and the budget before money is committed to steel.
Basic & FEED Engineering at Specx
Most of a project's lifetime cost is decided in the first few months. Basic engineering and front-end engineering design (FEED) turn a process concept into a defined, estimable scope: heat and material balances, process flow diagrams, preliminary P&IDs, equipment sizing, plot plan and a cost estimate the owner can take to the board.
Our FEED packages are written to be executed — clear enough for an EPC bidder to price accurately and detailed enough to shorten detailed engineering afterwards.

Questions about basic & feed engineering
Can Specx deliver basic & feed engineering as a standalone service?
Yes. Basic & FEED Engineering can be engaged on its own, or combined with our other engineering services into a single EPC or turnkey contract.
What information do you need to quote for basic & feed engineering?
Typically the process description or licensor data, capacity, site location, applicable codes and standards, and the expected schedule. Our engineers will help define anything that is not yet fixed.
