This document discusses the role of project engineering in project management. It explains that project engineering is responsible for developing the detailed design and specifications needed to implement engineering and infrastructure projects from concept to completion. This includes activities like process design, detailed engineering drawings, defining equipment requirements, and developing construction plans. Project engineering ensures all technical aspects across different engineering disciplines like mechanical, electrical, civil and instrumentation are properly integrated and defined to implement the project scope.

3. Definition
• The word project comes from
the Latin word projectum from the Latin
verb proicere, "before an action"
• In turn comes from pro-, which denotes
precedence, something that comes before
something else in time
• paralleling the Greek πρό and iacere, "to do".
The word "project" thus originally meant
"before an action".

9. Scope of Project
The project goal is achieved if the scope of project is
detailed out in different phases of project
• Project Feasibility
• Project Development
• Project Execution

• Project Operation
Project scope is defined by project engineering in
terms of engineering details , specification , resources
The successes of project in terms of cost, time, and
different factors depends on implementation of
project management principles

10. Project Development
Project development is based of Project Feasibility DPR
– To develop project for capacity as per project goal
– Detailed out design to achieve project goal
– To define the scope and its specification
– Define the required resources for project
– Define the knowledge, technology, engineering, construction
needs
– Define WBS
– Define mechanical, electrical, civil , instrumentation and allied
work based on project
– Develop Construction plan
– All these activates are based on Project Engineering Inputs
• ALL OUTPUTS OF THESE ACTIVITEIES LEADS TO
SPECIFICATIO, QUANTITY, ACTIVITY FOR
CONSTUCTION AS INPUT FOR PROJECT

22. Case study –Power plant cooling tower project
Process Principle -Basic Engineering
In this process cooling water is circulated across the cooling tower to remove the
heat generated in process plant equipments. The cooling water from cooling
tower is supplied to process equipments of plant; and returned to cooling tower
from process as closed loop water system. This system maintains the
temperature of process. The cooling water picks up the heat from process
equipments; this results in rise in temperature of cooling water. This heat is
rejecting to environment in cooling tower. The cooling water temperature is
reduced by3-7 oC depending on ambient conditions of project site. This drop in
temperature depends on geographical local conditions such as ambient
temperature, humidity and its variation during the day and different seasons.
