Abstract
The piping function is frequently inefficient. Previous research indicates that potential savings from improving the piping function are about $3.8 million for an average heavy industrial project costing $190 million. The CII Piping Function Research
Key Findings

IR47-2, Tools for Enhancing the Piping Engineering Process

To improve the efficiency of the piping function, the research team developed 22 tools, which are categorized into policies, procedures, checklists, and roles. These tools have been designed so that a company, by making minor adjustments, can meet its own particular needs. The tools are divided into three categories:

  • Tools for Enhancing the P&ID Development Process –12 tools 
  • Tools for Enhancing the Supplier Data Process – 5 tools 
  • Tools for Enhancing the Packaged Unit Process – 5 tools
