PDRI Templates

PDRI Templates

Industry validated templates are available for five industry sectors, all of which can be edited required:
  1. Industrial projects could include power plants, chemical plants, oil & gas production, water and/or waste treatment, and manufacturing. In 2015, CII released a version of PDRI specifically for small industrial and plant projects. In 2019, CII released a new version of the full PDRI Industrial template call PDRI MATRS (PDRI MATRS Industrial V5.0).
  2. Building projects such as offices, schools, medical facilities, institutional buildings, and research facilities.
  3. Infrastructure projects generally involve linear construction with extensive public interface and environmental impact. Examples could include railways, pipelines, transmission, and distribution. In 2016, CII released a version of PDRI specifically for small infrastructure projects.
  4. Manufacturing and Life Sciences projects include a mix of both industrial and building scope. Industrial facilities in the MLS sector include the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, automobiles, high-tech electronics, food, beverages, agriculture products, pulp and paper, and consumer products.
  5. Mining projects include structures above ground and under ground. These sites often require the development of infrastructure (roads, shelter, utilities, etc.) for workers, and for transportation of materials (railways, pipelines, etc.).

Exclude Sections/Elements at a Template/Organization Level (PDRI) 

Excluding Sections or Elements at the Manage Templates Level will be reflected on all new assessments in new projects created after the exclusion. Existing projects and their assessments are not affected by the template exclusion. This ability is only available to organizations that have the “Exclude” feature enabled by Valency.

To exclude a category/factor for an individual assessment, please refer to Facilitating a PDRI Session – Exclude Elements in the PDRI Assessment.

To exclude a component of a template, click on the down-arrow to the right of the section/subsection/element then select Exclude. A black Exclude symbol will appear on the component that is excluded, and a grey Exclude symbol will appear on any upper-level components above it.
