Define site with respect to industry?which is two types.

PLANT SIDE SELECTION: side selection for a plant keeping in view the various corporate objective of the company requires careful consideration of the numerous factors that would go into making the plant contribute towards its working environment and make it into a technologically and book wings Publisher industrial engineering economically viable unit decisions are strategic long term and no repetitive in nature.

FACTOR FOR SITE SELECTION: The location factors deserve care full attention simply because of its long term consequences. Any mistake in selection of a proper
Location wastage. On a plant is set up at a particular location it is very difficult to shift later to be a better location because of numerous economic, political and sociological reason the location factor also requires that the following facilities are taken into consideration.

(A) To ensure that is obtained for locating the plant in a no-industry district.

(B)The raw materials and end products require uninterrupted receipt and dispatch facilities through good road connections linking with ports and rail heads.

(C) Local of skilled and semiskilled man power will add to the efficient running of the plant.

(D) Availability of Raw Water: It is recommended that the plant be located in proximity to a perennial source of water of adequate quantity which will meet the plant requirements and the other non plant requirements. Drawing the water by boring deep tube wells without the provision of a perennial source is not preferable because the water may be depleted at a future date. In summary, the Natural Water Table and flooding history should be duly considered.

(E) Effluent Disposal: The natural drainage facility for disposal of Effluent should be duly examined. It would be economically advantageous if an effluent disposal facility after treatment, which can handle the produced quantity of effluent, is readily available. Otherwise, transporting the effluent by drainage, to a safe disposal area which is far away has to tackle the legal and ecological problems.

(F) Availability of Power: Stable and uninterrupted power of required magnitude, with important for the successful operation of the plant. Nearness to the available power facility will reduce the plant cost.

(G) Availability of Industrial Gas: Industrial gas is now available at various places in our country from the Gas pipeline network. Industrial it is more efficient and contributes very little towards industrial pollution.

(3) Site Size and Nature Site Selection: The plot area and  along with required township facilities and future expansions. The grade level of the entire area should be preferably almost the same. If the plot area is not flat, it has to be leveled in the most way to suit the plant. The degree of required leveling and filling should be looked into. Load bearing characteristics and acidity of the soil plays an important role in site selection. Natural soil has got more load - bearing capacity as compared to soil. Consequently, the cost of the civil foundation will be less in natural soil because piling to support heavy loads may not soil piling may be required.

(4) Ecology and Pollution for Site Selection: Now - a - days, there is a great deal of awareness towards maintenance of natural ecological balance. Regarding the effect of pollution from specific type of plants, social obligations are to be met. The nature of the site selected should preferably have some advantages to meet these requirements.
