Every industrial project has its own requirements. Whether you are modifying an existing installation, expanding a facility or preparing a new project, the engineering needs to work in practice — not just on paper.

 

Good preparation is therefore an important part of every project. Clear drawings, the right calculations and a well-defined scope help everyone involved understand what needs to happen before work starts.

 

At Bakker Flow Services, we combine engineering with project management and practical field experience. This allows us to support projects from the initial technical preparation through to execution and completion.

 

Our focus is straightforward: prepare the work properly, coordinate the different activities and make sure the engineering fits the reality of the site.

 

Starting with a clear scope

The earlier the technical requirements are clear, the easier it is to plan and execute the project.

We help turn the initial project requirements into a practical scope of work. Depending on the project, this can include defining the scope, preparing technical documentation, creating drawings, carrying out engineering calculations and coordinating the required activities.

Our engineering and project management services include:

• work preparation and scope definition;
• P&ID development;
• plot plans;
• line sizing;
• engineering calculations;
• heat studies;
• noise studies;
• certificate management; and
• project planning and coordination. (bakkerflowservices.com)
•  

This preparation provides the technical basis for the next stages of the project and gives the teams involved a clear reference for the work ahead.

 

Engineering that works on site

Once the scope is clear, the engineering needs to be translated into practical documentation and calculations.

For us, engineering is closely connected to field execution. A drawing or calculation needs to reflect the actual installation, available space, equipment and working conditions.

Our team can support with the development and updating of P&IDs and plot plans, giving project and field teams a clear overview of the installation and equipment layout.

We also carry out engineering calculations such as line sizing, heat studies and noise studies, depending on the requirements of the project. (bakkerflowservices.com)

By combining these activities, we can help identify practical issues during preparation rather than when the work is already taking place on site.

 

Working with existing installations

Modifying an existing facility can require a different approach from building something new. Existing equipment, piping, available space and operating conditions all need to be taken into account.

 

This is where practical experience is important.

 

When preparing engineering for an existing installation, we look at how the new or modified system needs to connect to what is already there. The aim is to develop a solution that can be installed and operated within the conditions of the existing facility.

 

Depending on the project, this can involve updating P&IDs, preparing plot plans, carrying out calculations and coordinating the engineering work with the planned field activities.

 

From engineering to project execution

Engineering and execution are closely connected. Once the drawings and calculations are ready, the work still needs to be planned and coordinated.

Our engineering and project management team can support with project planning, phasing, work preparation, coordination, progress monitoring, certificate management and reporting. (bakkerflowservices.com)

This means engineering information remains connected to the project schedule and the work taking place in the field.

When something changes during execution, the impact on the planning and technical scope can be assessed and addressed with the project team.

 

Practical engineering for the process industry

Our experience in the process industry means that our engineering work is closely connected to real operating environments.

We understand that projects often need to be carried out while other parts of a facility continue to operate. Space can be limited, shutdown windows can be short and equipment and contractors need to be available at the right time.

That practical context is something we take into account when preparing a project.

Whether the project involves a new installation, a modification to an existing facility or temporary equipment for a specific operation, we can combine engineering and project management with our other technical services where required.

 

Supporting more than just the engineering

Depending on the project, engineering is only one part of what is needed.

Our other services can be brought into the project where they add value. For example, our team can support with maintenance and inspection or provide temporary equipment through our rental services.

This can be useful when a project involves inspection, pressure testing, temporary flowlines or other equipment alongside the engineering work.

By combining these capabilities, we can support different parts of a project without losing sight of the overall scope and planning.

 

Engineering based on practical experience

Good engineering should result in a solution that can actually be built, operated and maintained.

That is how we approach our work at Bakker Flow Services. We combine engineering knowledge with practical experience from the field and project management experience in the process, oil & gas and geothermal industries.

We do not aim to make projects more complicated than they need to be. We focus on understanding the requirements, preparing the right technical information and coordinating the work needed to move the project forward.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What engineering services do you provide?

A: Depending on the project, we provide work preparation, scope definition, P&IDs, plot plans, line sizing, engineering calculations, heat studies and noise studies. We can combine this with project management and coordination. (bakkerflowservices.com)

 

Q: Can you support modifications to an existing installation?

A: Yes. We support projects in existing facilities as well as new installations. For modifications, we take the existing equipment, layout and operating conditions into account when preparing the engineering and project documentation.

 

Q: Do you provide full EPC services?

A: Our focus is on engineering, technical preparation, planning and project management. We do not position ourselves as a full EPC contractor responsible for the complete procurement and construction of every project. Depending on the scope, we can coordinate with the contractors and suppliers involved in the execution.

 

Q: Can you support the project after the engineering has been completed?

A: Yes. Our project management services can continue through preparation and execution, including planning, phasing, coordination, progress monitoring, certificate management and reporting. (bakkerflowservices.com)

 

Q: Do you only work on large industrial projects?

A: No. We support projects of different sizes and scopes. The approach depends on what the project requires, whether that is a specific engineering calculation, preparation of technical documentation or broader project management support.

 

Q: What makes your engineering approach practical?

A: Our engineering work is connected to our practical experience with equipment, maintenance and field operations. This helps us consider how a solution will actually be installed, operated, tested and maintained, rather than looking at the design in isolation.
