Hatch has successfully used a phased approach for the execution of major projects for more

than 80 years.
In each phase Hatch plans carefully for quality outcomes and zero harm to employees and
contractors.
The diagram to the right shows the four major phases of project development through Hatchs
Project LifeCycle Process. This staged approach to project development has proven to reduce
risk and deliver predictable outcomes on projects.
In FEL 1, in conjunction with the client, Hatch reviews concepts, processes, equipment
needs, recent technology developments, site suitability, and the likely costs of each viable
concept.
In FEL 2, the strongest option is selected and more fully developed through the pre-feasibility
study. Basic design and equipment costs and availability are carefully assessed.
In FEL 3, with the formal approval of the client team and board of directors, careful planning,
detail design, and contract commitments for the procurement of technologies and equipment
are undertaken.
In FEL 4, process systems are designed and the facilities are constructed and commissioned.

2.1.1 Business Planning FEL 1

Before starting a project, the pipeline owner/investor (the body funding the project) must
prove the economic viability and need for the project i.e. will the project produce the required
revenues and profit? This phase captures the reasoning behind initiating the project and can
take considerable time to prepare.
FEL 1 includes:

Business case

Strategic objectives

Economic analysis

Project expectations

Market analysis

Competitors review

Environmental constraints

2.1.2 Facility Planning FEL 2

The purpose of FEL 2 facility planning (sometimes referred to as feasibility, preliminary, or

pre-FEED), is to ensure the selection of an optimum solution and put some details behind the
project. Here we can confirm the physical viability and anticipated cost of a project before
any unnecessary time and energy is wasted. This stage of the plan can take from 2-6 months
depending on project complexity.
FEL 2 facility planning includes the review of:

Environmental and social issues

Routing

Pipeline dimensions (OD, WT, length)

In-line facilities (pumps/compressor stations)

Regulatory and governmental requirements

Preliminary schedules

Led by the owner, developer or an appointed and experienced engineering contractor, these
issues are performed by a joint team and should include a range of technical, engineering,
environmental, social and legal specialists. The level of cost estimate at this point is typically
+/-30%.

2.1.3 Project Planning FEL 3

Project planning or the FEED phase looks to develop the approved selected solution by
narrowing the cost estimate to +/-15% and achieving a higher level of development schedule.
At this point any project showstoppers would have been identified as part of the
environmental and social impact assessment process and suitable mitigation measures agreed
with the relevant stakeholders (as part of the project consent). It is only when consent has
been granted that project sanction takes place and particularly since it is then possible to
place material orders for long lead items (LLIs) at this stage so as to meet the development
schedule. Project planning could take from 6-12 months depending on the complexity of
project and the environment through which it is routed. If the pipeline has not managed to
avoid sensitive environments, timescales for the FEL process can be extended by many
months whilst detailed ecological or cultural studies are performed
In comparison with plant projects, the cost of FEL developments for a pipeline project are
typically lower, except for possibly international cross-border pipelines or complex systems
such as high temperature pipelines (design temperature > 70C), high pressure pipelines
(design pressure > 200 bars), or fast track projects.
However, whilst the cost of the development activity is lower, it is still significant and often
underestimated. Pipeline project facility planning (FEL 2) for example can range from one
third to three quarters of the activity associated with plant developments. However, the time
taken can in certain circumstances be longer.
