shall be given a heavy coating of solvent removable rust inhibiting compound.
Internal metal surfaces shall be sprayed or coated with a suitable rust
preventative. These surfaces shall be shipped with plastic or wooden covers.
b) Mechanical seals, bearing assemblies, and exposed ends of shafts shall be
fully protected from rusting and entry of moisture and dirt.

c) Flanged openings shall be provided with full size steel closures of 5 mm (3/16
inch) minimum thickness with full face rubber gaskets and at least four full
diameter bolts. Flanges 10 inches and above shall have 10 mm (3/8 inch)
thick full size steel covers with full face rubber gaskets and one full size bolt
in every other hole.
d) All threaded openings shall be plugged with long shank pipe plugs. Plug
material shall be equivalent to the material being plugged, except that carbon
steel plugs shall be used with openings in cast iron.
e) Open ends of tubes and pipe shall be capped for protection; taping is not
adequate.

2.5.8 Packing:
a) Equipment shall be packed in accordance with following document:
• “International Export Packing Requirements” N° T-GF-EP-2 (Rev 1).
• “General or Domestic Packing Requirements” N° T-GF-DP-3.
b) Equipment shall be packed, securely anchored, skid mounted when required,
and weather protected for the shipment method called for in the Purchase
Order. Separate, loose, or spare parts shall be boxed and each part
individually protected as required. Each individual container shall be marked
both inside and outside with the Purchase Order and equipment numbers and
contents; e.g., bolt type and size.
c) Each container shall include a waterproof, greaseproof envelope containing
Purchase Order, equipment and item numbers, and a complete bill of
materials, as applicable.
d) Boxes with loose commodities; e.g., fasteners, shall contain only one
commodity; e.g., one bolt type and size.
e) One complete set of Installation, Operating, and Maintenance Instructions
shall be packed and shipped with the equipment. This set of instructions is in
addition to the number of sets which are to be sent directly to the Buyer.
f) The maximum size of the packages and subassemblies shall be as large as
transportation facilities will permit. For transport dimensions criteria see
specification N° P5SL-0000-15TS-0010 Modularización.

2.6 Modularization
Due to adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, snow and extreme
temperatures as indicated in the General Site Conditions P5SL-0000-25TS-2001,
the Suppliers shall consider as part of its furnishment a plan to achieve maximum-
efficiency assembly at their own factories or intermediate installation for pre-
assembly components, before the delivery to the temporary outdoor storage area
on site.
Sizes and weights limits for the modules or pre-assembly subgroups to be
transported are indicated in specification N°P5SL-0000-15TS-0010 Modularización,

where further requirements regarding modularization are indicated as well, to be

considered by the Suppliers.
The Project Pascua-Lama heightens the importance of the pre-assembly method,
inasmuch as it contributes to decrease the work on a field with strong weather
conditions and of difficult geographic location. Each contribution made by the
Suppliers to enhance this concept shall be object of study during the bids evaluation
process. All bids shall include a modularization and pre-assembly plan.
The equipment and its auxiliary components shall be supplied with appropriate
parts rationalization in order to improve installation activities. The Suppliers shall
follow the general criteria defined on this document, sections 2.1.4, 2.1.5 y 2.1.6.
