RECOMMENDATIONS OF GOOD ENGINEERING PRACTICES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PLOT PLAN & EQUIPMENT LAYOUT

1.0 SCOPE This standard provides guidelines for good engineering practices to be followed while carrying out detail engineering for development of plot plan of process & engineering plants. PLOT PLAN DEVELOPMENT Green Belt Green belt shall be provided all around the plant and should be inside the fence. Width of green belts provided shall be governed by local rules for the states and shall be confirmed depending on location of the proposed plant. The proposed width shall be 6 m. (minimum but may e!tend to 1"#$" m depending on the plot si%e of the plant. ' security road (a!. & m. wide shall be provided all around the fence in the green belt for large si%e plots.
