The ground plan (figure 2) determines the geographical position of the buildings and structures, respecting installation principles and site-specific constraints while optimizing costs.
3.1 Site-specific constraints
Local soil characteristics can play a part in the positioning of structures, insofar as the heaviest structures are located in areas with the best soil characteristics.
The type of cold source (sea, river or stream) partly determines the need for cooling towers.
Environmental impact also plays a part in the choice of options.
the discharge temperature can be limited by the use of cooling towers, so as not to disturb aquatic life.
