Piping Engineering

Additional Details

When Process flow sheets and major equipment dimensions (e.g. Equipment list) are available. Piping Engineer should first develop a one-plane elevation of all Equipment to scale and relatively locate to fulfill process requirements. He should keep good Margins for nozzle lengths, bends, valves, slopes and distances between equipment, etc. While locating the equipment. He must as well think of structural/concrete beam depths, Monorails, pipe-ways, cable trays, lighting, etc. while deciding the floor elevation. This one-plane elevation view should be discussed internally and then with PE group who will Check relative locations & elevations of equipment. Routing of major & critical process lines Should also be discussed at this stage. After deciding floor elevations and number of floors, Work can start on preliminary arrangement drawings which should show each floor plan as Well as elevation views at different sections.
