What is Vertical Tower?

Towers, also referred to as columns, are one of the principal pieces of equipment of any processing facility. Towers are cylindrical steel vessels that are used for distilling raw materials in the production of such products as gasoline, diesel, and heating oil. The Plant Layout Designer must understand the internal structure of a tower and how it operates to produce a satisfactory design.

Value Engineering in Construction Projects

The integration of Value Methodology into the design and project construction/management processes is an important focus. Value Engineering (VE) is a methodology that is known and accepted in the industrial sector. It is an organized process with an impressive history of improving value and quality.
