- Fatigue Analysis: Evaluation of structural stresses for nominal fatigue life capacity as indicated in AS4324.1 and AS4100 or alternatively BS7608.
- Mechanical analysis of stacker components for stress and serviceability to AS4324.1 and/or AS1418.
- Structural and mechanical detailing in the form of detailed assemblies, including equipment designations and material lists.
- Pre-commissioning Audit of the stacker (mechanical and structural components) to AS4324.1 and Commissioning.
