KAGES Services

Plant Layout & Location Optimisation

Compare practical plant locations and layouts to identify capital, operating, access, safety and schedule implications before commitments are fixed.

When to Involve KAGES

Use KAGES while location and layout options remain open, or when an existing arrangement creates constructability, logistics or operating constraints. A practical comparison can reveal avoidable cost and delivery exposure; the potential benefit depends on the project and its assumptions.

What KAGES Provides

  • Feasibility of alternative plant locations and equipment arrangements.
  • Construction access, heavy lifts, transport routes, maintenance access and operating interfaces.
  • Utilities, natural-water availability, water injection or treatment and connection to existing infrastructure.
  • Capital and operating cost implications, HSE exposure, construction sequence and schedule trade-offs.

Comparing Real Options

Evaluate options against a shared design basis, available site information and owner priorities. This work focuses on where equipment and facilities should sit; the broader FEED review examines project definition, design maturity and constructability across the development.
