1. Project Understanding and Objectives

• Identify project goals (e.g., establish a new plant, expand existing operations, or improve efficiency).

• Define the intended purpose and capacity of the facility.

2. Preliminary Research and Data Collection

• Site Analysis:

  • Conduct surveys for land use, topography, and soil testing.

  • Assess climate and environmental factors.

• Utility Assessment:

  • Identify availability and capacity of power, water, and other essential utilities.

• Regulatory Compliance:

  • Collect data on zoning laws, permits, and environmental standards.

3. Engineering Studies

• Conceptual Design:

  • Develop preliminary layouts and process flows.

• Process and Technology Selection:

  • Evaluate production technologies for suitability, cost, and efficiency.

• Infrastructure Requirements:

  • Assess needs for storage, transportation, and support facilities.

4. Cost and Financial Analysis

• Capital Expenditure (CAPEX):

  • Estimate costs for land acquisition, construction, equipment, and installation.

• Operational Expenditure (OPEX):

  • Determine recurring costs for utilities, labor, maintenance, and raw materials.

• Financial Feasibility:

  • Conduct ROI, NPV, and IRR calculations.

5. Environmental Impact Assessment

• Assess the potential impact on air, water, soil, and biodiversity.

• Propose mitigation measures to minimize environmental damage.

• Ensure compliance with local and international environmental regulations.

6. Risk Assessment

• Identify technical, financial, and operational risks.

• Analyze the probability and impact of each risk.

• Propose risk mitigation and contingency plans.

7. Project Timelines

• Develop a comprehensive project schedule.

• Identify milestones for key activities, such as approvals, procurement, and construction.

8. Deliverables

• Feasibility Report:

  • Comprehensive analysis covering technical, economic, and environmental feasibility.

• Engineering Drawings:

  • Conceptual and preliminary designs for the industrial setup.

• Recommendations:

  • Suggestions for technology, site selection, and cost optimization.

9. Exclusions and Assumptions

• Clearly state what is not included in the scope, such as:

  • Detailed engineering designs for construction.

  • Execution and procurement responsibilities.

  • Long-term operational management.

10. Responsibilities

• Client Responsibilities:

  • Provide access to required data, including past studies or surveys.

  • Arrange meetings with stakeholders for approvals and inputs.

• Consultant Responsibilities:

  • Perform all feasibility assessments and deliver reports within the agreed timeline.

11. Communication and Reporting

• Establish a communication protocol for progress updates.

• Schedule periodic review meetings to ensure alignment with objectives.
