The Corporate Report 2011: Process Industry Practices (PIP)
EP Editorial Staff | March 23, 2012
We are a consortium of process plant owners and engineering construction contractors harmonizing member companies’ internal standards for design, procurement, construction and maintenance into a set of industrywide practices for voluntary use.
As of November 2011, PIP’s active membership encompasses 60 companies, plus 59 additional subscriber and licensee companies. PIP members share the goal of reducing total installed costs of process plants by up to 6% through the implementation of common industry practices.
