Piping design for ‘revamp’ projects in the process industry requires the retrieval of large amounts of ‘as-built’ data from existing process plant installations. Positional data with a high degree of accuracy are required. Photogrammetry, the science of measurement from photographs, was identified in Imperial Chemical Industries plc (ICI) as a suitable tool for information retrieval. The mathematical formulation enabling the definition of three-dimensional positions from photographic information is described. The process of using ICI's photogrammetric system for the definition of complete objects such as structures and pipes is illustrated. The need for specialized photogrammetric software for design purposes is explained. A case study describing how the photogrammetric system has been applied is described and graphical outputs from this exercise are shown. It is concluded that this particular photogrammetric system has proved to be a cost effective and accurate tool for the retrieval of ‘as-built’ information.

Engineer/constructor firms responsible for large process plant engineering, including the human-plant interface, have an emerging need for in-house human factors engineering (HFE) expertise. Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation has met his need through the creation of an HFE group. The group was founded as a small, informal, multidisciplinary organization. In an experimental manner, the group was provided the freedom to define its HFE markets within the firm and the process and power industry. Organizational design and management factors related to the functions and effectiveness of the group are discussed.
