A Functional Design Specification (FDS) is a document used by companies in a pre-development phase to translate all notes, concepts, and scope into a complete requirements document. At a minimum, an FDS will contain an organized list of requirements that can be used for development, testing, and client sign-off. The list below describes suggested minimum FDS check points.
Area/Element | Criteria | |
---|---|---|
Design - Civil | Civil designs for underground trunk conveyor systems to including designs for slab grading and water run off etc. | |
Design - Civil | Trunk / section transfer point civil drawings to be provided as standard for later development of the mine. | |
Design - Civil | A drawing covering the minimum requirements for the trunk running length civil layout shall be provided. This should cover drainage and minimum quality requirements for the development of the running conveyor length. | |
Design - Structural | Formal Structural designs for the conveyor steel work should be provided by the design consultant. | |
Design - Structural | It is suggested that manufacturing drawings should also be developed by the Consulting engineer to reduce misinterpretation of the transfer and chute arrangements. | |
Design - Mechanical | Chute flow modeling is required for chutes. | |
Design - Mechanical | Full mechanical conveyor designs to be provided by Design consultant. | |
Design - Civil | Civil bases to be designed to accommodate 1:100-year water runoff. | |
Design - Civil | A full 3-dimensional model of the box cut entrance should be provided including all interface equipment and steel work. A formal model review should be conducted on these interfaces and should cover the constructability of this area. | |
Design - Mechanical | Ensure hydraulic power packs and oil reservoirs are separated by firewall (fire protection requirement) | |
Dust Suppresion | Design consultant or dust suppresion supplier to detail the following key design criteria for the dust supprssion per transfer system or special location : Nozzles maximum pressure rating ; Operating pressure range ; Flow rate by area ; nozzle qty by are... | |
Belting and Splicing | All belting to be suitable for fiery mines, and to be suitably fire rated to current industry standards. | |
Design - Civil | A detailed Traffic Management plan of the locations vehicle and personnel interaction is to be provided by the design consultant. | |
Design - Electrical | Lightning protection investigation and risk assessment/specialist Input. | |
Design - Electrical | REQUIRED MINIMUM ADVISMENT FOR ELECTICAL EARTHING HERE. | |
Design - Mechanical | Chute designs to minimize material degradation. Wear liner material to optimize ease of replacement and minimize duration of replacement period. | |
Design - Mechanical | All conveyor drives to be AC Induction Motor with Variable Frequency Control and Direct Coupling (VFD). | |
Design - Structural | A minimum of 2.0m head clearance on all maintenance platforms. All equipment to be easily accessible and maintenance friendly. All Cat ladders and low clearance platforms / maintenance areas to be assessed and concessions provided. | |
Health , Safety and the Environment | All conveyors to be suitably guarded to protect personnel. Minimum requirements are covered by the Mechanical design specification standards references. | |
Design - Mechanical | Underground trunk belts to make use of Automatic Winch take-ups. |
Shiftbulk aims to improve the speed of design, detailing and purchasing of a conveyor system. It aims at reducing the complexity of sourcing equipment, specifying designs, generation and management of equipment lists and generally reducing the complexity of OEM product selection. Beta 0.9.01
