This workflow is a good practice guidance to Engineering Managers and supporting personnel for the delivery of technical integrity. It is an ‘aide-memoir’ that highlights the key deliverables and activities throughout the lifecycle of a typical Detailed Design project.
Detailed Design is broken into seven phases:
Phase 1: Scope Definition and Engineering Execution Strategy
Phase 2: Commencement of Detailed Design
Phase 3: Initial Design Development and Hazard Identification
Phase 4: Initial Design Review & Audit
Phase 5: Approval for Design (AFD)
Phase 6: Approval for Construction (AFC)
Phase 7: Design Close-Out
The workflow shown in the follow Road Map illustrates the execution sequence on a generic Detail Design Project. The vertical columns show activities that can be undertaken concurrently whilst the sequential flow of work is across the Road Map. As the deliverables and activities in each phase are completed, work can transition into the next phase.
Situations will arise when work will need to be be done out of sequence, typically to meet a demanding project schedule. Use of the workflow allows the risks of out-of-sequence working to be identified and the necessary mitigation strategies to be put in place.
HBP’s corporate governance and assurance of Engineering will measure compliance with the workflow and ensure out-of-phase working is being identified and managed. This document contains a copy of the Detail Design Workflow Road Map and includes detailed descriptions of the activities, the key engineering disciplines and supporting documentation. Phase 1: Scope Definition and Engineering Execution Strategy
