This online course will cover the fundamental principles and concepts used in process plant layout and piping design. Upon completion of this live online course, attendees will have a clear understanding of the design and engineering principles used in plant layout and piping design. The outcome will be a work force with the required skills and faster learning curves with minimal on the job training. This will increase productivity and shorten engineering and construction schedules. The process plants will get on stream quicker and operate with increased safety and reliability, satisfying the needs of the client.
