Front End Solutions

Front End Solutions

Costain offers conceptual and front end design services through its dedicated front end solutions group. The group is managed by a core of process specialists who have extensive experience in taking a customer's functional requirements and providing an optimal solution using the latest NGL technology. As these specialists are experienced at all stages of the project’s life they can help highlight and solve critical issues early in the design phase.

Selection of the optimal process considering energy and environmental limitations as well as minimising capital and operating cost are key factors to be considered in NGL project management and Costain is able to demonstrate skills in developing the most effective design over a range of operating conditions. Our reputation for innovation, teamwork and high levels of managerial skill inherent in these types of projects makes us a unique provider of NGL engineering, technology and project management within the sector.

Health & Safety

 

Costain SafetyThe Costain 'BE SAFE' campaign drives our approach to SHE throughout project execution. This has led to several prestigious RoSPA awards, including the President's Award for over 15 years of outstanding safety performance. This approach has been recognised and embraced by our customers, and reflected in the collaborative approach adopted on each project.

 

 Environmental

 

Costain Knapton ProjectCostain operates an accredited Environmental Management System. At the design phase of a project, our aim is to minimise the potential production of effluents through a range of techniques. We are experienced in dealing with issues such as sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) and designing plants with minimal impact on their surroundings.
