Physical plant

2 Broadcast engineering
In broadcast engineering, the term transmitter
plant is the part of the physical plant associated
with the transmitter and its controls and inputs, the
studio/transmitter link (if the radio studio is osite),[1] the radio antenna and radomes, feedline and
desiccation/nitrogen system, broadcast tower and
building, tower lighting, generator, and air conditioning.
These are often monitored by an automatic transmission system, which reports conditions via telemetry
(transmitter/studio link).

Physical plant, mechanical plant or industrial plant

(and where context is given, often just plant) refers to the
necessary infrastructure used in support and maintenance
of a given facility. The operation of these facilities, or the
department of an organization which does so, is called
plant operations or facility management. It should not
be confused with manufacturing plant.

HVAC

Plant usually includes air conditioning (both heating and

cooling systems and ventilation) and other mechanical
systems. It often also includes the maintenance of other
systems, such as plumbing and lighting. The facility itself
may be an oce building, a school campus, military base,
apartment complex, or the like.
