Training on Site Survey & Layout in Thermal Power Plants

Overview

A Thermal power plant is a complex system where accuracy in layout and site survey determines the success of construction and operations. This course is designed for civil engineers, consultants, and young professionals who wish to master the field procedures, design logic, and practical tools used in power plant site development.

The training ensures you gain both theoretical knowledge and job-level skills required to handle projects confidently from concept to commissioning.

Who Should Attend

• Working civil engineers in design, construction, or project management

• Self-employed consultants handling industrial or power projects

• Budding engineers seeking to enter the power sector

Learning Outcomes

Participants will learn to:

• Conduct site surveys using modern equipment and coordinate systems

• Prepare and interpret contour maps and topographic details

• Develop general layout plans for thermal power plants

• Understand plant and non-plant area divisions

• Plan roads, drains, and area levelling works

• Manage alignment, grading, and plotting in CAD software

• Review design drawings and ensure construction accuracy on site

Who Should Attend

• Working Professionals
• Self Employed / Consultants
• Budding Engineers
