Summary

Hands-on P&ID Development Workshop: Master practical skills through extensive exercises and real-world examples. Designed for engineers and project managers to gain immediate confidence in P&ID development and review.

P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams) are standardised engineering documents that graphically represent process systems within industrial facilities. They serve as the primary communication tool between various stakeholders, showing the interconnection of process equipment, instrumentation, and control systems.

 

Understanding P&IDs is crucial for:

  • Project execution
  • Plant operations
  • Safety management
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Cost control
  • Quality assurance

Who should attend?

Engineers, Project engineers, Managers, Package Managers, Operators, Construction Managers, Commissioning Engineers.

How will I benefit?

After the course you will be able to:

  • Understand P&ID development stages and milestones
  • Comprehend relationship between P&IDs and other project documents
  • Understand process safety fundamentals
  • Read and interpret P&IDs accurately
  • Evaluate line sizing requirements
  • Assess control system requirements
  • Review safety system configurations
  • Validate equipment specifications
  • Create basic P&IDs from process requirements
  • Structure P&IDs for clarity and usability
  • Incorporate operational requirements
  • Document different operating modes
Contributes 7 CPD hours
