Substation / PDC Layout – HVAC & Civil Interface

This course focuses on the coordination and interface requirements between Substation/PDC electrical layouts, HVAC systems, and civil engineering works. It explains how electrical equipment layouts are developed while considering HVAC requirements such as ventilation, cooling, air circulation, and equipment clearances. Participants learn how to coordinate substation and PDC layouts with civil structures, architectural requirements, foundations, trenches, openings, and access arrangements. The course covers the identification of HVAC and civil interface points during layout development. It explains coordination of equipment rooms, cable trenches, floor openings, doors, platforms, and maintenance spaces. Participants understand how to avoid clashes between electrical, HVAC, and civil systems through effective layout coordination. Practical considerations related to equipment heat dissipation, ventilation paths, and room space requirements are discussed. The course also highlights drawing coordination, interdisciplinary comments, and design revisions. It helps engineers understand the importance of maintaining clearances, accessibility, safety, and constructability. Overall, the course provides a practical understanding of multidisciplinary coordination for Substation and PDC layout development.
