What makes us the premier design firm in the MENA region and Sub-Saharan Africa?
The answer comes in one all-encompassing word: Versatility.
Versatility is what allows us to meet the requirements of diverse projects and respond to the needs of different individuals. Versatility is what allows us to innovate and adapt wherever we are in the world. Versatility is also how we always manage to reconcile cost-effectiveness with great quality.
Our extensive range of engineering and design services plays a great role in enhancing this versatility as well:
ECG’s engineering services cover MEP, infrastructure, transportation and process engineering, in conjunction with a range of supplementary engineering services. These include civil and environmental engineering, together with fire protection, lighting, communications, security, and building management systems.
Our design services, on the other hand, cover Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED), Conceptual Design, Preliminary Design, Basis of Design Reports (BODRs), Schematic Design, Design Development, Detailed Design, Design Optimization, Construction Documents, Value Engineering and Computer Simulations.
We will admit we are perfectionists. When it comes to architectural design, we want to be innovative, functional, beautiful, environmentally friendly, and above all, we want to leave a legacy for the generations to come. We also want to bring all that to every possible structure. Whether it be a bridge or a highway, an exterior or an interior, we want it to shine.
Although this perfectionism keeps us up all night, it also pays off. We are very proud of our contributions to some of the most prestigious projects in the region: From landmark high-rises and mega residential compounds, to business parks and LEED compliant buildings, and from acoustics and vertical transportation to conveyor systems and much more.
Star Oil Operating company is a newly formed petroleum company to carry out the development of block 17, which covers an area of 22,185 m2 in south Kordofan. The development’s objective was to transport 60,000 BOPD of crude oil, that is coming from the early production facility “EPF” at Annajma area to the Central Processing Facility “CPF” at Fula area. To meet this target, 43km – 12’’ underground pipeline was constructed to transfer 10,000 Barrels of Petrol per Day (BOPD), in its first stage to be increased gradually to 60,000 BOPD.
Star Oil awarded the EPCC project to “Petroneeds Services International”, which entrusted ECG with the services of design, detailed engineering and procurement documentation. The project comprised head pump station at Annajma area; two metering skids, one on each end of the pipeline; pigging facilities at both ends of the pipeline; emergency power generation; all related facilities for safe operation and control of the pipeline; service road of approximately 4.8 km including a seasonal river crossing, in addition to tie-in with Petro- Energy CPF at Fula.
Project design services included process and pipeline dynamic simulation, Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P & ID), Piping Flow Diagram (PFD), Utility Flow Diagram (UFD), safeguarding philosophy; pump station design (plot plan, equipment layout, pipe supports and general arrangements); pipeline design (alignment sheets, crossing details, etc), Instrumentation & Control (I & C); stress analysis; cathodic protection; electrical (power, lighting, earthing); and HAZOP study.
Also, a fibre optic cable was designed to be routed along the side of the pipeline for the transfer of control data.
