FlowPlan › Planning & Delivery
Planning & Delivery
Planning & Delivery shows how FlowPlan is applied in practice, from site intake and sampling through diagnostics, pathway selection, process configuration, specification, commissioning and performance review. The emphasis is on the work needed to move a defined water, wastewater, reuse or residuals project forward.
Overview
The sequence follows the practical work from field and operating information to technical decisions, configured treatment stages, supplier-ready requirements and verified performance. Support can begin at the phase matching the current project stage rather than requiring every phase to be repeated.
Where FlowPlan supports your project
These four service streams show how FlowPlan work is applied to the actual project, using site and operating information to support technical decisions, supplier requirements, commissioning and early performance review. The six-phase sequence below shows the practical progression where a complete planning-to-delivery route is required.
- Early Scoping & Feasibility : Establish the site basis from sampling, operating records, flows, loads, constraints and required outcomes.
- Solution Design & Option Selection : Compare workable routes and define the process duties, sequence and site requirements.
- Specification & Supplier Alignment : Convert the configured process into supplier-ready duties, package boundaries, controls, tests and performance requirements.
- Implementation & Optimisation : Review submissions, site readiness, commissioning results and early operating performance against the defined basis.
- •Site, process and technical information intake
- •Sampling, operating records and feasibility basis
- •Site constraints and early pathway options
- •Feasibility report and decision-ready route comparison
- •Process duties and configuration logic across water, residuals, odor and energy
- •Quality, reuse, residuals and operating KPIs
- •Terms of Reference / specification packs
- •Equipment duties, package boundaries and system connections
- •Supplier and technology evaluation criteria
- •Design handover and supplier submission review
- •Commissioning and performance review against defined KPIs
- •Optimisation and next-phase upgrade planning
The Planning & Delivery Sequence
Where a project needs the complete planning-to-delivery route, the work can be organised through six practical phases, from site intake to performance review.
Each phase represents work carried out on the project, with defined outputs, supplier coordination points and performance checks.
An engagement may begin at the phase matching the current stage, or follow the full sequence for a new project or complex upgrade.
Intake & Problem Definition
Site conditions, process flows, reuse goals, constraints and decision boundaries are confirmed through available records, operator input, site review and sampling where needed.
Deliverable: A site-informed problem definition with confirmed flows, constraints, information gaps and decision boundaries, ready for diagnostic and feasibility work.
- Site & Process Intake
- Sampling & Information Plan
Diagnostic Mapping & Opportunity Identification
Field observations, sampling results, operating data and drawings are reviewed together to identify risks, information gaps and opportunities for reuse, residuals routing and compliance.
Deliverable: A diagnostic map of site-specific risks, data gaps and opportunities, linked to the FlowPlan responses and further checks needed.
Feasibility & Pathway Selection
Options are compared against the actual flows, footprint, utilities, operator demands, economics and implementation constraints before commitment.
Deliverable: A technically justified pathway comparison with visible trade-offs and a clear basis for the preferred direction.
- Feasibility Report
- Value Engineering
FlowPlan Configuration
Selected treatment stages are configured around the actual flows, loads, site space, utilities, controls and operating requirements, then connected as one process system.
Deliverable: A configured FlowPlan process basis with defined duties, sequence, connections and dependencies across water, residuals, odor and energy.
Specification & Readiness
Equipment and media duties, package boundaries, utilities, controls, KPIs, exclusions and test requirements are defined before supplier engagement.
Deliverable: A Terms of Reference and scope package providing a common technical basis for supplier comparison, detailed review and delivery.
- Terms of Reference
- Equipment, Controls & Connection Notes
Implementation & Coordination
Supplier submissions, site readiness, commissioning results and operating data are reviewed against the defined requirements and acceptance criteria.
Deliverable: A documented commissioning and performance review with identified gaps, corrective actions and a clear basis for optimisation.

- Optimisation Guidance
Get in touch
An engagement can begin at the phase matching the current project stage, whether the immediate need is site intake, diagnostics, pathway selection, process configuration, specification or delivery review.
Typical enquiry topics
- Starting-point guidance (which step to begin with, based on current stage and urgency)
- Diagnostics and site information planning to close sampling / monitoring gaps
- Feasibility and pathway comparison (technical suitability, risks, CAPEX/OPEX and operability)
- FlowPlan configuration (process duties, connections, controls and site constraints)
- Specification / ToR packs (equipment duties, KPIs, tests, exclusions and responsibilities)
- Implementation support (submission review, site readiness, commissioning checks and optimisation)
What to share for a precise response
- Current stage and decision deadline (intake / diagnostics / feasibility / configuration / specification / delivery)
- Water/residuals context (what’s on site and what must be achieved)
- Known constraints (space, power/heat, shutdown periods, operator capacity)
- Information available (recent sampling, logs, drawings, O&M history)
- Any supplier/EPC context (shortlists, approvals, lender/QA expectations)
