Projects in existing plants are part of daily business but often present engineering challenges such as accounting for as-built data and merging modified/add design data back in the plant engineering environment for operations. In this session we will discuss how SmartPlant Instrumentation as-built can help you with this challenge. The second topic of this session will address instrument specification sheets and how intelligent spec sheets in SPI can help drive quality and consistency.

Time: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM CDT

Instruments are the most common and trusted method of risk mitigation. Per the hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies, design practices, and company standards, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) factors (1-4) are determined, which defines the protection layers and control system methods for the process. Intergraph SmartPlant Instrumentation can then, based on the SIL, help to design and manage the safety systems to ensure a safe state of the operating plant. SmartPlant Instrumentation can help to group the instruments to make sure the required type and number of back-up/layers is in place to achieve the required protection. In this webinar, you will learn how SmartPlant Instrumentation can help design safety into your plant and create a consistent and high quality set of associated documentation.

Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM CDT
