Mr McKenzie further reported how Mintek is conducting its part in the project on Derelict and Ownerless mines. In the Project planning, he outlined that they attend to site characteristics, data collection, mapping and surveying, soil sampling, geotechnical investigation and health and safety investigation for two months. For detailed design, they hold community meetings, site the access roads, locate water and fill material, undertake detailed engineering design and specification and complete construction drawings for two months. The tendering process takes about two months where tender documents are complied, site meetings conducted and the contractor is introduced to the community. The construction takes about four to twelve months. This includes the site establishment, hire of local labour and conduct of medicals, constructing access roads, site construction, regular monitoring and inspections, quantity surveyor verification, invoicing control, final surveys and inspections and reporting.
