Familiarization of Engineering and Drawings

Introduction

This 5 days training workshop concentrates on teaching participants how a thorough knowledge and understanding of how the plant works will greatly enhance their ability to maintain & enhance the operation of the plant. Using the documentation provided, the workshop will teach delegates how to diagnose problems and suggest solutions on a plant that they have never seen. Too often plant modifications that are instituted fix the symptom instead of the underlying problem, this workshop teaches delegates why it is so important to keep looking at the plant as a whole in order to solve the problem. Delegates will learn how to create documentation using simple standards and specifications as well as custom design a solution for their own plant. This workshop will create the awareness that a technical person’s greatest resource is not his toolbox, but rather his drawing office and plant documentation. As-built plant documentation is at best 90% accurate on handover, from this point it degrades rapidly to 50 to 75% accuracy in two years, whereafter it continues a more gradual decline. This decline can be attributed to a number of factors. This workshop will address these problems and show delegates how to overcome them. Disciplines covered include Process, Electrical, and Instrumentation and numerous practical sessions allow the application of knowledge gained to reinforce the principles.

Objectives

This course to provide engineers and technicians with the basic theoretical and practical understanding of:-

• Define and use Process Flow diagrams, P&ID's, Instrument lists, Specification forms, Logic diagrams, Location plans, Installation details and Loop diagrams
• Understand process control devices and the symbols used to define them
• Define and specify vendor criteria for the production of plant documentation to the order of the company
• Be familiar with the use of specifications to control the design scope of the project
• Understand the purpose of a HAZOP in the development of a plant
• Be in a position to implement and manage plant modifications from conception to completion
• Be aware of the ISA standard available to assist you in developing and understanding instrument and control documents
• Better understand the scope, responsibility and interaction of each discipline in the completion of a project or plant modification

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.
