COURSE OVERVIEW:

The purpose of this course focuses on the systematic creation and management of standardized technical documentation that defines an industrial facility's instrumentation and control systems. Clear and consistent documentation is essential for engineering accuracy, procurement efficiency, and long-term operational safety. This program provides the tools needed to develop a robust documentation framework that aligns with international standards and organizational best practices.

The scope of this training encompasses the development of symbols, naming conventions, and data structures for Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Instrument Datasheets, and Loop Drawings. Participants will explore the hierarchy of documentation, from conceptual design to "as built" records, and learn how to maintain data integrity across different engineering platforms. The curriculum is designed to address the challenges of managing large volumes of technical data in a multi-disciplinary project environment.

Coverage includes the administrative and technical aspects of documentation control, such as revision management, audit trails, and electronic document management systems (EDMS). Attendees will learn how to specify instrument attributes in datasheets, develop logic diagrams, and standardize the representation of control loops and interlocks. By focusing on standards like ISA-5.1 and ISA-20, the course ensures that participants can produce high-quality instrumentation documentation that supports the entire lifecycle of a plant.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Analyze the role of standardized documentation in process safety and engineering.
• Develop a comprehensive instrument, tagging, and naming conventions.
• Standardize symbology for P&IDs according to ISA-5.1 requirements.
• Create high-quality instrument data sheets using ISA-20 templates.
• Design standardized templates for loop diagrams and termination schedules.
• Implement a structured approach for managing logic and flow diagrams.
• Establish protocols for documentation revision and change management.
• Integrate instrumentation data into centralized engineering databases.
• Evaluate the quality of documentation provided by vendors and contractors.
• Design documentation workflows for multi-disciplinary project coordination.
• Conduct audits of existing documentation for accuracy and compliance.
• Develop a site-specific Instrumentation Documentation Standard manual.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Instrumentation Engineers, Design Lead Engineers, Document Control Specialists, Project Engineers, and Quality Managers involved in industrial design and maintenance.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
