OVERVIEW OF PIPING LAYOUT

1 What is Piping Layout? (Purpose of Piping Layout)

To determine the following:

a. Equipment Layout
b. Construction & Structure (configuration & elevation)
c. Equipment (vessel) nozzle orientation, platform, lug & ladder (location &
configuration)
d. Piping Arrangement (line routing, location of piping component & instrument)
e. Electrical/ Instrument cable layout, location local panel, junction boxer lighting, etc.
f. Location of buried piping & drip funnels.

2 Related Work for Piping Layout

b. Design Info Preparation
c. Piping Strength Analysis
d. Piping Material Take-off
e. Piping Drawing Preparation

3 Data Gathering & Verification

a. Collect necessary Documents

b. Verify Accuracy

4 Preparation of Basic Piping Layout Plan

a. Piping Conceptual Routing

b. Equipment Layout
c. Civil/Structure Formation

b. By Section of Facilities
c. By Structure
d. By Unit

6 Determination of Area of Priority

a. Tight Schedule for Design Info. Issuance
b. Some connection with other company (Hook-Up)
c. Plot Plan to Fix Early
d. Complete Set of Documents
e. Having Lines w/ High Temperature: High Pressure (material to be use is high Grade
(special) material & Large Size)
f. Piping Material to be Ordered Early
