English to Norwegian Tech/Engineering Other

The conceptual engineering aims to identify the machinery, equipment, supplies and facilities necessary to operate a project.
By definition:

A conceptual engineering study should logically consider the issues, concerns and goals that may be raised by an engineering request, evaluate possible technical solutions and clearly report the findings and recommendations. It is intended to provide a comparative basis for decision making regarding further actions, without expenditure of exhaustive engineering efforts. Further preliminary engineering (e.g., equipment layouts, geological studies, testing and inspections) may then be suggested for the recommended conceptual solution prior to full project funding commitment and detailed engineering design.
