/COMPONENTS-OF-A-FEED-STUDY)
The Front-End Engineering and Design (https://www.matrixpdm.com/design/feed-services) (FEED) process
is perhaps the most important component of pre-project planning or Front-End Loading (FEL). Critical
infrastructure projects are complex and highly technical with thousands of specifications to be considered.
FEED studies ensure that the details of the project are in place before construction.
The primary goals of a FEED study are threefold:
• Produce all technical documents
• Confirm product specifications
• Clarify the scope of the project

This “due diligence” works through the details of the project and helps ensure that the project will produce
an operational asset for the organization. FEED documentation provides shareholders with crucial budgetary
and technical details that are key to the approvals process. Ideally, it proves to shareholders that their capital
outlay will be a wise investment for the future and the project should move forward.
Additionally, a FEED study maps out the details of the project between the client and the details of the
project between the client and the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor
(https://www.matrixservice.com/services/epc). It gives the client the opportunity to determine which
specifications best fit their application and lays a foundation for a positive relationship between the two
parties.
Let’s take a look at some of the major components of a FEED study.
Process Flow Diagrams
These high-level diagrams show the general flow of facility processes and equipment. They offer a simple
road map, illustrating how the facility operates and how the product moves through your facility.
Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
These are more detailed diagrams that show how piping and processing equipment interacts with the
instrumentation and control devices. P&IDs help engineers and facility operators troubleshoot issues and
plan scheduled maintenance once the facility is in operation. These are essentially a blueprint schematic of
your facility. Every pipe, every valve, every control valve is included.
Electrical Diagrams
Electrical diagrams are detailed schematics of all of the electrical systems in your facility. They are used to
build the facility’s control systems and used to address any issues once the facility is operational.
Facility Plot Plan

A facility plot plan shows an aerial view of your roads, equipment, buildings, and surrounding land. Since it’s
drawn to scale, a facility plot plan can help with planning in construction if a certain amount of space is
needed to assemble a component. It’s also used to ensure enough space surrounding a facility meets safety
clearances.
Design Reports
These reports give an operator the overall specifications of your facility. They tell you the input and output
capacity of your equipment. They guide operations as you seek to optimize your equipment and its capacity.
They also act as a gauge to determine if your facility is operating efficiently.
Civil and Structural Design and Layout
These documents tell contractors where structural elements like concrete, beams, or foundations should
reside and the specifications for those elements. These detailed drawings and designs are primarily used
during the construction phase.
Piping/Mechanical Design
These 3D drawings show the placement and routing of all piping within your facility. They provide directions
to build all of the piping during the construction phase and help troubleshoot issues during operations.
FEED Studies are a Critical Planning Tool
In addition to the documents listed above, FEED studies provide a refined budget and scope for the project.
Operating and maintenance cost estimates may also be included. FEED studies are an essential component
of pre-project planning for new asset construction and large retrofit projects.
As these documents come together, design and engineering conflicts will be resolved with the client’s input.
Once the designs are finalized, the project can move to the final round of approvals before procurement and
construction begin.
