EPC Plant? Engineering?

(As of Mar. 2011, when I wrote this article)
I worked at Constuction company (EPC Engineering & Construction).

It was around two and half years. very short period.
I may not have the proper experience to write down this kind of article.

The purpose of this article is for someone who are not familiar with this industry.

Many industries are using the word "engineerng", if they are related with technical and engineering thing. I think consideration technical and commercial things together is engineering.

Engineering

What I would like to explain here is EPC Engineering and EPC Plant.

In korea, many companies such as Daelim, GS, SK, Hyundai, Daewoo and Samsung  are conducting EPC Engineering. So company name have engineering or engineering & construction.

What they build is refinery, petrochemical plant, biochemical plant, power plant and environment plant, simply they design and construct these sorts of factory.

We normally call industry of these construction companies as "Plant" or "EPC Plant". EPC means Engineering, Procurement and Construction.

They design factory and buy required material and assemble or install materials, finally test and fix it until this factory is well operated.

This step is similar to what computer production company does on mainboard.

The final product of computer production company is computer, and the final product of plant company is factory.

When I appied to plant industry, I actually did not know what this industry is. Maybe some student are still similar to me.

Further it tooks quite long time for me to understand what plant industry is and what they are doing.

I just wanted that this article is helpful for some people who want to know EPC plant, but not yet know.
