4.3. Test Prior To Delivery

One sub-assembly of each type and size of drive unit shall be tested under load conditions
(where possible) simulating actual operating conditions to determine the operating speeds,
torques and suitability of the equipment.One conveyor pulley of each type and size shall be
tested for balance and concentricity
with respect to its supporting shaft. Half of one per cent of the total of each type and size of idler
roller selected by the Principal shall be tested for balance and concentricity as specified in this
Specification.
For the purpose of identification, idler rollers shall be marked in batches of two hundred (200) of
each type and size.
Samples of each conveyor belt shall be tested dimensionally and physically in accordance with
AS 1334. If two or more individual lengths of belting are spliced to snake a belt length, one
sample for testing shall be taken from each individual length. The principal's test certificates will
be provided to the BAMA when requested.
4.4. Testing & Commissioning on Site

A detailed plant commissioning program shall be prepared by the BAMA and submitted to the
Principal for approval prior to any commissioning activities being undertaken. The program shall
incorporate specific reference to proprietary equipment items to enable co-ordination with the
manufacturer's commissioning representative. The BAMA shall arrange for the Commissioning
Engineer to be present at the appropriate times during total plant commissioning procedure and
the specific commissioning tests to be conducted on the equipment will have been previously

Page 36 of 33
prepared by the manufacturer and accepted by the Principal. Those procedures will be the basis
for commissioning and testing of the equipment and the BAMA shall support those procedures
on site.
The BAMA shall carry out tests as specified to show correct assembly and erection of the plant.
Adequate notice shall be given to the Principal that each piece of plant is ready for testing,
including the adjusting and setting of all limit switches, indicating lights, signals and other
protective devices.
Testing specifically required by the manufacturer in installation instructions shall be performed
after the inspection and approval of the installation by the manufacturer's engineering
representative. During conveyor belt tracking, if idlers are moved from right angles to the
conveyor center line, they shall be clearly marked and shall be returned to their right angle
alignment before testing of belt tracking is completed.
Each feeder and conveyor shall be tested under local control and all necessary adjustments made
to ensure it is in a safe operating condition. Conveyors shall be run empty for a period of not less
than four hours after alignment of components and training of the belt.
Feeders shall be run empty for a period of not less than four hours. Starting time, stopping time,
noise levels, bearing temperatures, and motor amp reading shall be recorded as applicable.
After all equipment has been run individually to the satisfaction of the Principal, it shall then be
operated continuously in groups as directed by the Principal under no load conditions, and
normal operating sequence control from the control centers appropriate to the operating sections
of the plant. 2 x 12 hours of continuous and uninterrupted operation of each complete section
shall be attained.
The operation is deemed uninterrupted operation if:
a. Number of interruption is less than 6 time over the 12 hours operation with single
interruption time less than 5 minutes and
b. Total interruption time over the 12 hours operation is less than 30 minutes.
During this period, all motions and all devices shall be tested in the presence of and to the
satisfaction of the Principal or its representative. If any equipment or device in any section
proves unsatisfactory in the opinion the Principal, the BAMA shall effect rectification of each
fault or faults, and a further uninterrupted trouble free period of 2 x 12 hours operation of such
section shall be attained before commissioning may
proceed.
4.5. Commissioning
The BAMA shall demonstrate the correct operation of all items of plant up to the design
maximum and shall make such adjustments as required to ensure operation of the plant,

Page 37 of 33
according to this Specification and the satisfaction of the Principal. During such commissioning,
the BAMA shall demonstrate that the required rates are as specified in this Specification. If such
requirements are not attained, then the BAMA shall make such adjustments as are necessary, and
the entire operation shall be repeated until the specified rates is attained in three complete and
uninterrupted twelve hour periods of operation. After completion of such throughput tests, all
equipment shall be washed down and otherwise cleaned of coal, and all faults shall be rectified.
The entire equipment shall then be operated under no load for an uninterrupted period of four
hours.
The BAMA shall keep proper records of the commissioning of each section of the Plant,
including the load currents of every motor. Where load or speed variations occur, recordings
shall cover the complete variations. A Practical Completion Certificate for the plant will only be
issued following successful completion of all commissioning procedures and acceptance by the
Principal.
The operation is deemed uninterrupted operation if:
a. Number of interruption is less than 6 time over the 12 hours operation with single
interruption time less than 5 minutes and
b. Total interruption time over the twenty-four hours operation is less than 30 minutes.
c. The plant has reach nominal capacity as specified.
