Course Details

This course introduces the various drawings typically used in chemical and in the design phase, and operation. The following staff should attend:

• Facilities, operation and maintenance engineers and senior technicians
• Engineers in training

• Expert-led sessions with dynamic visual aids
• Comprehensive course manual to support practical application and reinforcement
• Interactive discussions addressing participants’ real-world projects and challenges
• Insightful case studies and proven best practices to enhance learning

This course is designed to familiarize participants with developing and revising engineering drawings. After completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Upgrade drawing interpretation in a multi-discipline environment i.e. plant layout, mechanical, structural, instrumentation
• Gain the skills required to produce mechanical engineering drawings from design information.
• Interpret codes, standards and specifications and apply them to their engineering drawings.
• Develop hand sketches of a number of mechanical components
• Read, interpret, and extract information from mechanical & piping drawings
