infrastructure and shall be designed by the Employer, Constructed by the
Contractor and measured and paid in accordance with 1) and 2) above.
b) Lifting equipment
5) The Contractor shall provide the Employer with all necessary information to allow the
Employer to complete the necessary civil and structural engineering designs. The
information required by the Employer shall include the following:
a) A general arrangement drawing which clearly illustrates the location and
orientation of the equipment specified in this project specification such that
the Employer is capable of assessing the space available for operations and
maintenance.
b) A lifting plan that clearly illustrates how key components of the equipment are
to be dismantled, lifted and loaded onto a service vehicle. The Contractor
shall further provide the Employer with the detailed structural requirements at
the interface between lifting equipment and the supporting infrastructure.
c) All structural loadings that the Employer may need to execute the civil and
structural design of the infrastructure. This should include as a minimum the
weight of the equipment, thrust forces and vibration loadings.
6) In so far as the layout of the equipment is concerned, the Contractor shall ensure that
the following functional requirements have been met:
a) The Contractor shall provide the Employer with the centre line of the pumps
as well as the distance from this centre line to the floor level allowing
adequate working space under the pipework. In providing these levels the
Contractor shall ensure the following:
i) A minimum of 1 m working space shall be provided around and between
all equipment.

PS-13.14.3 Performance Requirements

1) The medium being pumped is fats, oil and grease and may behave in a non-
newtonian manner.
2) The static suction head under normal operating conditions shall be between 20 and
23 m.
3) The pumping system shall be capable of conveying 15 L/sec of FOG from the hopper
feed box of the PSPS to the existing gravity thickeners.
4) The proposed philosophy shall be based on a duty – standby system. Drawing
number INLAND/A08/P+ID/UI0665A/241 indicates a 1 duty – 1 standby system
however the Tenderer may propose an alternative.

PS-13.14.4 Mechanical Requirements

PS-13.14.4.1 Digester FOG Pump Installation

1) The proposed FOG Pump Station shall have a maximum of two (2) positive
