A growing collection of practical references for industrial piping designers. Field knowledge that doesn’t retire.
45 years of hard-earned wisdom, practical tips, and field-proven knowledge for industrial piping design. From P&IDs to brownfield revamps, stress analysis basics to plant layout — in the voice of a seasoned mentor. The conversation every junior designer deserves but few ever get.
Pipe racks, pumps, compressors and turbines — the foundations every designer must master. Volume 1 of the Piping Layout trilogy, written for the junior-to-mid designer who wants to understand the WHY behind every routing decision around rotating equipment.
Vessels, exchangers, fired heaters and utility systems — the process backbone of every plant. Volume 2 dives into static and thermal equipment, where most piping volume is concentrated and where good layout makes the difference between a smooth turnaround and a nightmare.
Supports, stress, 3D modeling and industry-specific practices — the senior designer’s toolkit. Volume 3 covers everything that separates a competent designer from a senior one, plus reference appendices you’ll keep coming back to throughout your career.
A designer-friendly introduction to flexibility, supports, and nozzle loads — bridging the gap between stress engineering theory and what piping designers actually need to know on the job.
