This Bachelor’s thesis has been done for VEO Oy. The goal of the thesis is to create an instrumentation base project for the Expert Service department. The base project will be used in thermal power projects. The project is done in the planning tool Vertex.

Conducting this thesis, future instrumentation projects will be easier and faster for the planners. The goal is to be able to use this base project when planning future thermal power plant projects. A long-term goal of this thesis is to introduce Vertex more into the Expert Service department.

The theoretical part will deal with Vertex, the instrumentation, a comparison between Vertex and AutoCAD, and with the advantages of having a good planning system. This thesis will also include a small study on Vertex’s future at VEO’s Power Generation.
