MEP is the acronym that stands for Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing that refers the discipline of engineering involves to build the safe and working structure for human consumption. The plumbing aspect deals with the deliverance of water and drainage of wastewater. Silicon Valley understands the prerequisite of every structure especially that of a large building which requires a great deal of energy and water in addition to the sophisticated and secure methods of delivery.
Transportation of various substances like water, chemicals, slurries, gases, oil, and small solids is requisite in various plants and this can be accomplished using pipes. However, pipes are not merely fixed into the systems. For pipes to function properly, a deep study related to piping layout, materials required, piping stress analysis and its supports needs to carried out prior to designing a piping system. This study is termed as piping engineering. The pipes are needed in almost every industry including the oil and gas industry, wastewater industry, water supply sector, manufacturing plants, construction and many more.
Piping engineering is a branch of civil engineering that deals with constructing robust and fully-operational piping systems. The branch is the cornerstone of various industries that involve transportation of fluids including construction, oil and gas industries, chemical plants and many more. It is the task of the pipeline engineer to design piping systems. Thus, piping engineers play a vital role in such industries.
