Engineering and Scientific Studies
CONCEPT SHIP’S DESIGN :
The concept design stage transforms operational requirements into a real vessel. Working in close co-operation with our client, we define the vessel’s main dimensions, hull form, general layout, main space allocation and seaworthiness. This provides the vessel owner with the confidence of a sound concept and enough data to assess the project’s technical and
commercial feasibility.
Ship’s Design :
Our design team covers the complete range of design services from concept studies, through complete design documentation, production drawings and procurement support.
We have hands-on comprehensive experience in vessel design for different types of vessels, including cruise vessels, fishing vessels, supply vessels, tugs, barges.

MEGA PROJECTS :
Engineering team of Falcon Crest International has the expertise on Mega Projects studies, financing and implementation, such as cement plant, shipyard, gypsum plant, real estates, storage tank, petroleum terminal..
The important question is how a balance between control and commitment can be organized to meet the mega-project’s objectives. The organization of cooperative activities can assume a spectrum of forms. At the one end of this spectrum, a dominant partner organizes the mega-projects according to hierarchical lines. At the other end would be a network model in which collaborating partners are linked together by a variety of relationships.
The first type is the consultation or coordination model in which the project coordinates issues concerning content. Project management has little power and authorization, while partners have considerable authority to realize projects goals.
The second type is the matrix structure in which project management coordinates issues concerning context and initiates activities. Partners execute and manage sub-projects.
The third type is the ‘pure’ project structure gives little power to partners. Project management initiates, executes and controls all activities. Partners participate with people, knowledge, and resources. In order to reach objectives, each large project has to discuss the focus and the extent of mechanisms of control with the partners involved.
Megaprojects, sometimes called major programs, are large-scale, complex ventures that typically cost more than 1 billion US Dollars, take many years to build, involve multiple public and private stake-holders and impact millions of people.
Megaprojects include special economic zones, public buildings, power plants, dams, airports, seaports, bridges, highways, tunnels, railways, wastewater projects, oil and natural gas extraction projects, aerospace projects, weapons systems, information technology systems, large-scale sporting events and, more recently.
Choosing the right project delivery strategy, managing risk, and developing specific policies and procedures will ensure a project is completed on time and within budget.
Business case:
We determine the value proposition to educate a decision maker and convince them to take some kind of action. The document is referred to as a business case.
the business case development process follows the Five Case Model:
- The Strategic Case.
- The Socio-Economic Case.
- The Commercial Case.
- The Financial Case.
- The Management Case.
Business plan:
The business plan defines in detail a company’s objectives and how it plans to achieve its goals. The
business plan lays out a written road map for the firm from marketing, financial, and operational
standpoints. Both startups and established companies use business plans.
Business model:
The business model is referring to a company’s plan for making a profit. We identify the products or services. We identify the target market, and any anticipated expenses. Business models are important for both new and established businesses. Elements of a Business Model :
- Identify Your Target Market
- Identify Your Value Chain
- Mobilize Your Resources
- Identify Your Business Partners
- Keep Your Business Model Flexible
Feasibility study:
The feasibility study is an assessment of the practicality of a proposed plan or project. A feasibility study analyzes the viability of a project to determine whether the project or venture is likely to succeed.
Contents of a Feasibility Study :
– Executive Summary.
– Description of Product or Service.
– Technology Considerations.
– Product or Service Marketplace.
Main element of feasibility study :
– Technical feasibility,
– Financial feasibility,
– Market feasibility (or market fit),
– Operational feasibility
Project implementation:
We shall follow below stages of the project management lifecycle to achieve optimal results :
– Planning ; the planning stage is the most important part of the project management lifecycle.
– Analysis
– Design and analysis
– Development
– Testing
– Implementation
– Maintenance
