2. 2 1. Objective & Scope Objective – –Design a procedure for disassembly, packing and shipment of all hardware from Arcetri to LBTO –Ensure hardware safety –Conform to the program schedule Scope – –Point of origin for all hardware is OAA –Delivery to LBTO basecamp or Sunnyside facility –Does NOT include transportation to summit All containers must withstand transport from basecamp to summit on un-paved roads The plan development is work in progress and will be completed soon enough to meet the program shedule
