This is a neural network based model that delivers an approximation of the most up-to-date CEPCI Index. The model uses 10 additional factors than the 2002 CEPCI calculation method to better estimate those deprecated inputs.
The preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for October 2020 (the most recent data available) increased compared to the previous month's value, after the final September value was downwardly revised. The October increase continues a period of up-and-down fluctuations in the CEPCI values. The Equipment, Construction Labor and ...
Th e preliminary value for the CE Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) for June 2024 (most recent available) decreased slightly compared to the previous month's value. Since the beginning of the year, the value has been hovering around 800. The small decline in the June CEPCI was a result of small decreases in each of the four subindices: Equipment; Construction Labor; …
Updating the CE Plant Cost Index Vatavuk, William M. Chemical Engineering 109.1 (Jan 2002): 62-70. Introduction For more than 37 years, chemical process-industry professionals -- engineers, managers, and technicians -- have used the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) to adjust process plant construction costs from one period to another.
The value of the 2023 Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index ® (CEPCI) decreased compared to the previous year's value, but remains substantially above the levels observed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The annual CEPCI value is calculated as an average of the monthly values for the index observed throughout the year. The decrease in the 2023 …
