The feasibility study is the crucial starting point when constructing an industrial plant. The technical and economic feasibility of the project is assessed by means of a thorough and rigorous analysis that provides the information needed to make informed decisions.

In this initial stage, the project goals are defined and all the information needed is gathered, including:

• Project Feasibility Study
• Strategic Assessment
• Technical Assessment
• Budget Assessment
• FEED (Front End Engineering Design) or FEL (Front End Loading) studies

Basic engineering is the initial operational stage of the design process for an industrial plant. This is the step in which the foundations are laid for a safe, efficient, functional and regulation-compliant plant.

The documentation produced unambiguously defines the project to be constructed. The service includes drafting a set of documents to be used for generating a well-defined image of the future plant:

• Definition and formalisation of the general plant layout
• Draft of the Master plan
• Preparation and assessment of the tender documentation

Ferretti Construction focuses on precise and thorough design of all components and systems involved in the project, ensuring that every aspect is carefully planned and documented for construction and subsequent implementation.

Detailed engineering encompasses several branches:

• Civil engineering
• Structural engineering
• Piping engineering
• BOP (Balance of Plant) engineering

Our Fast-Track Engineering service is the flagship of our range of services. It consists of dedicated custom engineering aimed at revamping industrial foundations. Our innovative Fast-Track system means we are able to reduce work times by up to 75% by accelerating the entire design and construction process through the use of pre-assembled foundation blocks, developed using the integrated “design & build” approach.

This advanced method allows us to optimise times and resources while maintaining the highest quality standards at every stage of the project. Our integrated and highly specialised approach includes:

• Preliminary studies: analysis for pre-construction of steel blocks to speed up the project schedule
• As-built analysis: review of existing drawings and on-site assessments to determine the optimal locations for structural cuts, while preserving existing foundations/installations
• Load and soil analysis: comprehensive review of load impacts on foundations using soil investigation reports and as-built drawings
• Foundation design: detailed drawings for new foundations, including reinforcement plans and formwork
• Adaptation to pre-assembled blocks: modification of concrete structures to adapt them to the requirements of pre-assembled blocks, while maintaining engineering specifications
• Frame construction: drafting of detailed drawings for primary and secondary steel frames using various profiles
• Material preparation: preparation of steel and embedded steel reinforcement bars
• Calculation reports: detailed engineering calculation reports in accordance with local standards and codes

With our Fast-Track system, we guarantee fast times and top-quality results, responding efficiently and accurately to the needs of industrial plant modernisation.
