contributes to different phases of the project and produces specific documentation. Here's
an overview of the workflow and the contributions of each engineer, including the project
engineer and piping stress engineer:

1. Project Initiation
2. Conceptual Design
3. FEED (Front-End Engineering Design)
4. Detailed Design
5. Procurement
6. Construction
7. Commissioning and Handover

Summary

The workflow of engineering a piping system involves multiple phases, each requiring
contributions from various engineers. Each engineer produces specific documentation that
ensures the project's design, procurement, construction, and commissioning meet the
project's goals and standards. The project engineer coordinates the overall process, while
the piping stress engineer ensures the system's integrity under operational conditions.
