Our Services

Development of studies for preparation of energy production plants both in the Czech Republic and abroad as whole, but
also for planned reconstructions, refurbishments and extensions of existing installations. The scope and details of such
studies are adapted to the specific conditions of the project, available design input data and the task of the documentation in
the given phase of the business plan.

Basic types of studies offered

  • Conceptual Study: the initial draft of a technical concept according to the client’s requirements
  • Preliminary Feasibility Study: draws up input data from actual input information on the project for the first assessment
    of the business/investment plan in the agreed scope
  • Feasibility Study (FS): elaborated in a more detail scope according to the project´s specific conditions; serves for the selection
    of design variants and an assessment of the plan

 

The feasibility of the project is evaluated from the following main points:

  • Technical feasibility
  • Rate of investment return
  • Time schedule of preparation and realization of the project
  • Project implementation plan (preparatory stage, realization and operation)
  • FS includes requirements on performance of needed surveys (Engineering-geological, hydrogeological etc.) of the locality

Design documentation of complex energy units at Basic Design (BD) level for projects to be realized in the Czech Republic
and abroad. The Basic Design level is fundamental for coordination of construction as a whole. It is usually elaborated from
the design input data provided by the main equipment suppliers. In more simplified form, Basic Design can be elaborated
without suppliers’ design input data.

Basic Design serves as the basis for:

  • Specification for elaboration of profession documentation – Detail Design
  • Coordination of profession Detail Design, sub-suppliers of technical units (mutual and with construction)
  • Management of possible changes of Basic Design (e.g. those caused by selection of suppliers)
  • Author supervision on the determined conception
  • Specification for selection of auxiliary (“balance of plant”) equipment suppliers

Basic Design defines:

  • Basic technical conception of the project
  • The scope of supply in relationship to specific conditions of the project
  • Technical and qualitative requirements on equipment

Design activities

Elaboration of Basic Design, i.e. definition of the basic conception and ensuring of coordination of the construction technical
solution in all professions.
BD is compiled in structuring into functional technological units or possibly into process systems (PS) and detailed process
systems (DPS), as well as civil structures/buildings. The scope and detail of Basic Design elaboration is adapted to the
conditions of given project and to the purpose of the documentation use.

Related engineering services

  • Provision of design input data for the Basic Design elaboration purpose
  • Consulting of the draft design with affected administrative authorities and key suppliers

Elaboration of design and as-built documentation in the environment of mutually linked database systems, i.e. a detail model
of the system including a depiction of links and configuration of database objects in 2D or 3D graphics.

In the ENERGOPROJEKT PRAHA Division, we use the following database systems:

  • AXSYS. Engine for design of multi-discipline intelligent diagrams
  • PDMS for creation of spatial models and the follow-up generation of documentation
  • Microsoft Access for establishing of applications for support of design and data sharing
  • Database SQL (ORACLE or PostgreSQL) database for support of the design process and development of information systems

Database allows

  • Following links needed e.g. for maintenance and repairs planning, use of margins, etc.
  • Creating interfaces for other applications (computations, simulations, etc.) and in this way to provide required input data
    sets or to depict the computation outlets in the documentation or in the special model

The following SW systems were developed in ENERGOPROJEKT PRAHA Division

  • GAMED – for execution of technical documentation in the database environment which enables data transfer via web
    interfaces and provides multidiscipline coordination
  • GADUS – for data presentation – this provides access to data models via internet and provides information and intelligent
    communication in 2D and 3D graphics
  • COMA – for collision management – web application is used to identify and evaluate collision between contractors. The application supports spatial coordination of the project
  • RDB – review database – web application is used to make comments of delivered documents
  • LBAT – a web application for the support of NPP licensing documentation evaluation
