About This Course

Share with:


The layout and piping design phase is one of the most critical stages in any industrial project, directly impacting safety, cost, constructability, and maintenance. This beginner-level course is specifically structured to provide a zero-to-basic understanding of the fundamental principles governing process plant layout and efficient piping routing. We will demystify complex engineering concepts, focusing on the essential standards, documentation (like P&IDs), and spatial considerations required to execute successful design work. This course is ideal for individuals looking to start their career in piping engineering, project coordination, or plant operations, providing the core knowledge needed to read drawings, understand design constraints, and communicate effectively within a multi-disciplinary engineering team

Learning Objectives

Interpret Engineering Documents: Effectively read and utilize core piping design documents, including PFDs, P&IDs, and Isometric drawings.
Identify Components: Differentiate and select standard piping components (valves, fittings, flanges) and understand their functions within the system.
Apply Layout Principles: Execute preliminary Plot Plan and Equipment Layout based on functional and safety criteria.
Establish Design Constraints: Identify and apply the primary constraints that dictate pipe routing (e.g., access, maintenance, thermal expansion).
Determine Clearances: Apply industry standards to determine minimum clearances, spacing, and accessibility requirements for various equipment types.
Communicate Design Intent: Structure and present design information clearly for effective communication with structural, mechanical, and stress engineering teams.
