Overview of Pipe Drafing and Design 8 Types of Projects: 1.Power Plants 2.Petrochemical Complex 3.Pulp and Paper Plants 4.Pipe Systems for hospitals and high rise buildings 5.Offshore Platforms 6.Midstream facilities—Difference between Service Company and Operator

Employers of Pipe Drafters and Designers 9 1.Engineering and Construction Companies-Design and layout of facility. Facility includes the entire plant design 2.Operating Companies-Broad knowledge to oversee the entire project.
