What is EPCLand

Being an industrial engineer for the last 18+ years, a team of like-minded professionals and I realized that although Piping Engineering is a common subset of Process & Mechanical Engineering, it’s an application within the larger EPC industries like Refinery, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Fertilizer, Power plants & Gas processing industries is often underrated & undermined.

However, after much deliberation with industry experts, scholars, students & relevant stakeholders, we at EPCLAND.com realized that this neglected, yet in-demand discipline, focused and updated guidance & content is not easily available.

So, EPCLAND.com was born with a combined industry experience of 50+ years to create specialized content for Piping Engineering (for Mechanical Engineers) ready to be delivered in the form of videos, lectures & in-person counseling.
