Region-Specific Cost Factors

← Previous | Next →

The Region-Specific Cost Factors parameter screen is the same for all plant types.

The first parameter, Plant Location, is also available on the Plant Location screen in CONFIGURE SESSION, and is described in detail there.

The remaining parameters are cost multipliers based in the plant location. You may override the calculated values if you wish to change them:

•Construction Equipment Cost: This parameter measures the ratio of local construction equipment cost to default construction equipment cost.

•Construction Materials Cost: This parameter measures the ratio of local construction materials cost to default construction material cost.

•Construction Labor Cost: This parameter measures the ratio of local construction labor cost to default construction labor cost.

•Construction Labor Requirement: This parameter measures the ratio of local labor need to default labor need.

•Seismicity Factor: This parameter measures the ratio of local seismicity to default seismicity, which is applied to the construction equipment and materials.
