Plant Layout &
Detailed Engineering

The Stuart McElrath Company provides both conceptual plant layout design and detailed installation drawings and specifications.

Conceptual Layouts: SMC will come onto the customer’s site for a preliminary review of the project. A meeting is held with the production and management where notes and sketches are made on the proposed facility. After the meeting, the first conceptual drawings are produced. Another meeting is held at the customer’s facility to review conceptual drawings. Notes are taken at this meeting and a second set of conceptual drawings are produced.

Detailed Engineering: Once the conceptual drawings are approved in principle, the detailed drawings are started. This set of drawings include, but are not limited to General Arrangement drawings, Local Area General Arrangement drawings, Equipment Installation Elevations and Cross-Sections drawings, Foundation drawings, Structure Steel drawings and Utility drawings.

As with the Conceptual layouts, the detailed drawings are submitted to plant personnel for approval at various stages in the project.
