Quantity surveying and claims support for mineral processing plants and associated construction.
Plant-related construction includes the structures and site works that support equipment installation. Foundations, buildings, access and utility connections may sit under different appointments from the plant supply itself. The commercial account needs clear interfaces and a distinction between construction progress, equipment delivery and operational activities. This can include facilities for crushing, screening and other mineral processing, with construction scope distinguished from the performance of the process equipment.
A revised crusher or mill detail can change foundations and transfer points after the supporting steelwork has entered fabrication.
We record the equipment assumptions behind each package and trace revisions through the supporting work. The valuation distinguishes additional construction, omitted work and substantiated fabrication changes.
A concentrator expansion may share access and services with an existing process. Limited shutdowns and congested laydown areas can require temporary systems or a different installation sequence.
We compare the actual workfront releases with the shutdown and logistics assumptions priced. In a congested operating plant, the useful evidence is activity-specific: where the crew could work, which access was unavailable and what equipment had to move. That supports an assessment of the affected resources rather than applying a broad productivity reduction to the entire expansion.
A performance test needs the agreed feed and operating conditions. A result obtained with different material may not answer the contractual acceptance question.
We review the test requirements with the process team and use the recorded inputs and findings to distinguish supplier performance, changed conditions and additional trials.
The process plant may depend on separate water, slurry and tailings works. Missing connections or delayed downstream readiness can extend commissioning even when individual equipment packages are complete.
We identify the water, slurry and tailings dependencies at each milestone. Readiness records then help assess extra commissioning attendance without confusing completion of an equipment package with readiness of the whole process.
