Resource, Generation and Distribution
Engineers throughout Power, Energy, Renewables and Mining & Minerals sectors rely on PIP Practices for standardized design, engineering, procurement and construction guidance.
Optimize Resource, Generation and Distribution Projects With Proven Standards
PIP Practices help enable safer, more consistent and more reliable facilities from generation through transmission and distribution.
Electrical Practices
For power plants and substations, practices such as ELCGL01 (Electrical Design Criteria), ELEGL03 (Guidelines for Power Systems Analysis), and ELSSG01 (Low-Voltage Metal-Enclosed AC Switchgear Specification) guide system architecture, protection and equipment selection. These resources support reliable generation, grid tie and distribution systems across a variety of facilities.
Civil and Structural Design
CVC01015 (Civil Design Criteria), STC01015 (Structural Design Criteria) and STS05130 (Structural and Miscellaneous Steel Erection Specification) provide a consistent civil/structural framework for powerhouses, substations, conveyor galleries and heavy mining infrastructure. Complementing these are piping and mechanical practices supporting utilities, cooling water, dust collection and slurry and water-handling systems.
Vessel Equipment Guidance
PIP Vessel Practices provide a consistent framework for specifying pressure vessels, heat exchangers, condensers, deaerators and storage tanks, led by VESV1002 (Design and Fabrication Specification for Vessels—ASME Section VIII) and VESTA002 (Atmospheric Storage Tank Specification—supplement to API 650).
