Dear All,

Let us list out the package of documents we (piping) should get to start detail design for the project. This package is called as Basic Engineering Package & most commonly as BEP.
BEP normally comes from Process Licensor or Client or both together.

Contract Data
• E only, E&P, EPC or EPCM
• Green Field (Grass Roots)
• Revamp (Up-Grade or Re-product)

Site Data
• Location
• Climate conditions including “Wind Rose”
• Property map (size and shape)
• Topography
• Existing above ground and underground obstructions (Type, size and location)
• Available space on existing Pipe Racks
• If Revamp – List of existing equipment to be reused

Plant Layout & Operational Data
• Minimum road widths, aisle widths and head room
• Ladder and Platform access criteria (Ladder only, Stair only or Ladder & Stair)
• Valve and Instrument access criteria

Maintenance Data
• Methods of handling heavy or elevated items (Mobil crane or Mono-rail)

Process Data:
• -Process Flow Diagram (PFD)
• -Piping & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)
• -Legend Sheet (to refer symbols on P&ID)
• -Process Description
• -Line List
• -Equipment List
• -Special Material / Item list (SM Items List)

Kindly add new items in the BASIC ENGINEERING PACKAGE if you feel we need to add them in BEP.

Jop & Anton,

Thanks
