Engineering Services for Industrial Investors

While design a Process plant, Tank farm or similar for Oil & Gas Industry:

General considerations:

 Local codes & regulations

 Client specification

 Topography

 Adjacent process units

 Neighboring commercial & residential property, other industrial plants

 Maintenance & operation

Detail design:

 Identification of storage based on fluid stored.

 Safety Considerations / Statutory Requirements

 General / Plot Plan Arrangement

 General Piping Lay-Out

 Material of Construction.

Statutory and Safety Requirements:

As an example; design, construction, operation and maintenance of an Oil Terminal must be in accordance with local, national, regional and international codes, standards, and legal and statutory requirements, include;
