Re: Plant Model

one of the downside of the plastic model is that it occupy a lot of space (need big room)and no as-built. but if you must then isuggest the following be consider.
1.use a scale of 1:15 metric
2.list all items in the P.O. that should be included on the model such as all valves, all process piping with label, etc. 3.base of the plastic model to show routing of the underground piping 4.conduct model review at certain design stages.
