| Mechanical and Thermal rating analysis of gear units. | |
| Review of environmental issues or discussion with authorities. | |
| Project schedule. | |
| Head and Tail end Transition distances analysis. | |
| Hold back specifications. | |
| Electrical feed to min-substations, transformers, motor control stations etc. as the current location of power supply is currently not known. | |
| Discrete Element Modelling calibration tests. Note: the commencement of this work is dependent on supplying a sample of the ROM production to the nominated laboratory to the specification given and reliable test results received in due time. | |
| Control, instrumentation and electrical requirements | |
| P&ID's and electrical drawings | |
| Motor selection and reserve power. | |
| Report on current expected life of equipment. | |

| Structural and condition Inspection walk through of conveyor system. | |
| Run of Conveyor Idler analysis on Carry and return strands. | |
| Review of SCADA information. | |
| Manufacturing, installation or construction. | |
| Pulley analysis which includes shell diameters, hub and bearing shaft sizes and such deflection limits. | |
| Planning of installation. | |
| Phased project scope with itemized deliverables. | |
| Vertical curve (Concave/Convex) and Horizontal curve analysis. For concave curves belt lift out is determined. Convex curves will access belt flex stability. | |
| Structural analysis of the existing support structure. | |
| Sizing and specification of all relevant hydraulic equipment and fittings. | |
| Engineering oversight on findings by the DEM service provider. | |
| Discrete Element Modelling simulation. | |
| Convex curve Idler analysis on carry and return strands. | |

| PR approval of structural calculations. | |
| Specification of Belt class and Selection. | |
| Site visit with operations team detailing findings and recommended modifications. | |
| Details on the all contractor requirements for site work. | |
| Assistance with fabrication quality assurance. | |
| Assistance with procurement of equipment and approvals of vendor data. | |
| Assistance with commissioning and installation support | |
| Facilitation of HAZOP studies, in particular safety analyses, recommendations for modifications to the existing support structure, installation procedure, ease of maintenance and accessibility for inspection and maintenance. | |
| Provide input into the Bill of quantities ( prepared by site appointed Quantity Surveyor) | |
| Take-up system analysis (Required tension at load cell or counterweight mass. Take-up movement is also determined in the tower and carriage depending on rope weaving arrangement). | |
| Work instruction for the manufacturing of the chute steelwork. | |
| Civil designs do not account for the sourcing of material, particularly commercial sources or borrow pits. Investigations into borrow pit material suitability or environmental licencing are not part of this scope. | |
| Ground handling equipment (TLB) to be provided by the client for Geotechnical Investigations. |
