Costing & Operational Methodology

The following methodology is used to generate the mechanical discipline deliverables:

• Developing major comminution equipment lists for milling circuit options
• Obtaining budget & firm pricing on behalf of clients for comminution equipment like Crushers, Grinding Mills, HPGR, Stirred media grinding mills from Metso Outotec, , FLS , CITIC , Sandvik , Weir , Glencore- Isa mills etc
• Providing input into milling options & drives with budget/firm pricing estimates e.g. capital and operations costs.

 

Client’s Representative during purchase of Long lead Comminution equipment

• Provide details & identify long lead comminution equipment critical to the project.
• Client to run procurement process for these long lead packages based on technical specifications prepared by the EPCM contractor for client.
• Become the client representative to undertake technical evaluation of these tenders alongside EPCM & Client.
• Undertake complete full evaluation and provide preferred vendor pricing to Client before being passed on to the EPCM Contractor
• Remain client’s representative and provide advice to client during the construction & delivery of all major long lead comminution equipment
