German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
German term or phrase: Elektrotechnisches Detailengineering
Wie lautet der gängige Fachbegriff im Englischen (UK) für den oben stehenden Terminus?

Detailed electrical engineering?

Hier der Kontext:

Eine herstellerübergreifende Kommunikations-Plattform verbindet alle gängigen 3D-Systeme zur Modellierung prozesstechnischer Anlagen mit dem zweidimensionalen P&ID und dem dazugehörigen elektrotechnischen Detailengineering sehr effektiv. So arbeiten alle Beteiligten im Entstehungsprozess einer Anlage direkt mit den Informationen der anderen Disziplinen - auch an verschiedenen Standorten. Auch Zulieferdaten lassen sich anbinden, ohne dass das entsprechende Autorenwerkzeug angeschafft werden muss.

Explanation:
Das Umschreiben geht ähnlich wie bei Detailkonstruktion (was ja auch der richtige deutsche Ausdruck ist)

detail design-engineering work [autom.] die Detailkonstruktion
detailed engineering [tech.] die Detailkonstruktion
http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType...

Ob man "design" mit hinzunimmt, hängt davon ab, was der genaue Inhalt der Aufgabe ist. Design zielt mehr auf die Ausführungsart ab, Engineering allein auf die technische Lösung.

As Andrew wondered about this proposal and proposed a differnet one (fine engineering), I was obliged to verify both terms for correctness and frequency.

The meaning of "Detailed Engineering" often differs from company to company. We perceive detailed engineering to include the following functions:
Layout planning and detailed coordination/clarification of details
Inventory taking on site
Design of pipe layout and instrumentation
Arrangement of components
Calculation of material requirements and technical specifications
Definition of interfaces
Configuration and dimensioning of instrumentation and control equipment
Technical description of the processes

The line is to be operated by the Toronto Transit Commission. Metrolinx had budgeted $944.5 million from 2009 through 2014 for the design and construction of the line.[1] Funding was approved by the provincial and federal governments in May 2009.[2] Detailed engineering had also been initiated for the grade separation of Sheppard Avenue East and the GO Transit tracks east of Kennedy Road. Construction for the line began on 21 December 2009 at Agincourt GO Station.[3]
