Project Engineering Services
Interstates brings constructability-focused design to industrial projects with our proven industry and facility expertise. The demands of an operating facility must be specifically addressed to successfully execute a project without impacting service to the end client.
Our methods focus on understanding both the goals of the project and the broader goals of the facility to set the team up to successfully execute. Whether restricting the downtime at an operating plant or looking out for opportunities far in the future, our team is equipped with the tools, knowledge, and industry experience to deliver a custom solution that will support the full lifecycle of your facility.
DESIGN CRITERIA
Work with owner to understand the goals for the project and facility.
These goals are translated into design criteria that consider Operations, Safety, Code, Reliability, and Capacity constraints.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Develop initial designs that explore ways to balance cost and schedule impacts.
Focusing on these early decisions allows the owner to appropriately focus resources for the project and to release long-lead equipment.
CONSTRUCTION DESIGN
Detail the design and prepare project documentation for construction or fabrication.
When possible, leverage 3D design technology to visualize and check the constructability of our design to uncover improvements and limit conflicts.
CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
Clarifying and adjusting to changes during project construction.
Participating in the construction phase gives the designers an opportunity to react quickly to project changes and provide timely clarification when questions arise.
FACILITY OPERATIONS
Integrate construction red-lines into for-record documentation.
This documentation can be used for facility maintenance and planning future projects. It is a critical action in fulfilling our goal of design that supports the full lifecycle of the facility.
PROJECT SCOPE DEVELOPMENT
Set the scope of the project in the context of facility and project goals. Explore design alternates, and complete early budget development.
EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT
Complete the design required to purchase long-lead equipment on-time.
DETAILED DESIGN
Develop the design documents needed to support successful fabrication and construction.
VALUE ENGINEERING
Find and pursue opportunities to save project cost and schedule.
3D CAD & BIM
Leverage the model to visualize design options and find conflicts to minimize field rework.
FABRICATION MODELING & DESIGN
Identify and pursue opportunities to move labor off-site through product selection and prefabrication.
CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE
Keep design support throughout the construction phase to maintain project documentation and support the execution team.
FOR-RECORD DOCUMENTATION
Leverage field redlines into a quality drawing set that supports maintenance needs and planning for future projects.
