Design Safety
Package Delivery
The conceptual stage is where the project’s risk profile is built and inherent safety flexibility is greatest — the FEL 2 package matures the fundamental safety decisions before that flexibility disappears.
- Preliminary Risk Register
- Technological Readiness Level Assessment Report
- Safety Engineering Implementation Plan
- Inherent Safety Review
- HAZID
FEED is where the design basis, key safety decisions and risk controls must reach the maturity EPC execution will be priced and committed on — the FEL 3 package carries the safety deliverables to that maturity.

Multi-Disciplinary FEED Safety Endorsement Before Your EPC Bid
A lump-sum bid prices everything the FEED package says — and everything it doesn't. We review the safety documentation across six engineering disciplines and report what is missing, what is wrong and what it will cost. Before you commit.
