Why regulatory compliances are important in   industrial infrastructure design What is meant by regulatory compliance?  Regulatory compliance is following a set of rules of the land for an industrial project. Industrial architects often follow the central and state government rules. These rules are in the form of laws, specifications, codes or policies. Industrial architects must know the latest compliances before designing any project. Regulatory compliance provides clarity while designing the factory.   What are the regulatory compliance concerning design in industries? Industrial projects have multiple regulations depending on the product, location, building height, and fire risk involved. Industrial architects are aware of the design requirements for compliance.  Compliances are essential in any project. The project can start only after submitting the drawings to the authorities for approval. The approval stage impacts the timelines. Hence ...

What do Regulatory Compliances mean? Industrial architects have to follow a set of rules and regulations while designing industrial projects. These rules and regulations are called regulatory compliance. These compliances consist of regulations that could be Central, State or local. These regulations are a policy, rule, set of rules, specification or law. Compliance with these regulations ensures operational transparency.  Design guidelines for industrial architects: Industrial projects have to comply with multiple regulations. These include site parameters like an all-around setback, green belt, built-up area, rainwater harvesting , parking area, creche, clinic etc. The fire department and the NBC provide guidelines to design the fire risk management system . It includes the pump size, yard hydrant, type of extinguisher used, and fire alarm system.  Industrial architects must consider these guidelines, as failure to follow regulations will impact the timeline and project co...

What do you mean by As-Built Drawings? Industrial infrastructure projects are a multi-disciplinary , complex, and challenging set of activities. During the project implementation, there may be changes due to site requirements. These deviations are incorporated in the good for construction drawings . These drawings are called "As-Built Drawings". As-built drawings form a part of the record of the completed project. Hence, it is essential for future expansion and regulatory compliance. Therefore, it is necessary to store these drawings safely for future projects. What is the difference between As-Built drawings and Good for Construction drawings? Architects issue Good for Construction (GFC) drawings for the sole purpose of construction. In contrast, the As-Built Drawings are a record of completion.  The contractor constructs the manufacturing facility based on the GFC drawings. Any deviation or changes from the GFC are recorded as a site deviation. The client and PMC informed t...
