“Brownfield” work refers to work performed within or in addition to an existing facility. This type of work can be challenging, as the designers must contend with, work around and connect to existing equipment and piping systems. Some of the equipment and piping systems may not have been built and installed according to the original engineering documentation and as-built drawings may not have been made due to budget or time constraints.
