Practical Guide to Plant Layout
Why take this course?
Learn how to design effective plant layouts by understanding key factors like safety, accessibility, maintenance, and cost. This course explores layout considerations across design levels, with video lectures, exercises, and a detailed case study. Build the knowledge needed to create practical, efficient layouts in industrial settings.
What you'll learn
After this course, you...
• have a good overview of the plant layout considerations,
• are able to design a basic plant layout,
• can identify the potential hazards on a plant and incorporate them in your layout design,
• understand what information is required to design different layouts,
• have an overview of which personnel and stakeholders are involved during the plant layout design phase.
About the course
Plant layouts have a major influence on the operation of a plant. An improper layout design can lead to hazardous situations, impractical maintenance or reduced plant efficiency. These can have a significant financial impact for the owner of the plant. So understanding the various considerations that come with determining a plant layout is important for designing a proper layout.
In this course different considerations are discussed for different levels of layout design and applications. This will increase your understanding of what has to be taken into account when designing a plant layout. Topics include safety, proximity, maintenance, constructability, practicality and economic considerations. After this course participants will have the knowledge to design a basic plant layout.
This course contains 3 online courses based on video content and exercises. An extensive case is included in the course, for which the solution is explained by the instructor.
