The design was governed by the AISC 360-16 standard, integrating permanent, thermal, wind, equipment, auxiliary services, and material and access overloads. For the conveyors, the wind load criteria allowed the reuse of preexisting components without additional reinforcements. Likewise, a minimum soil bearing capacity was established to guarantee the stability of the foundations. 7.3.2 Modularization in Documents Detailed engineering applied modularization criteria under conventional transport restrictions (2.4 m wide, 3.0 m high, 12.0 m long). Through 3D modeling, assembly drawings were structured by processes such as modularization in the factory, in the field, and lifting; replacing conventional bills of materials. This approach guaranteed traceability, precision in workshop preassembly, and a module configuration on-site without dependence on sequential documentary structures, optimizing assembly planning and execution. The final positioning was executed through rigging plans that integrated center of gravity, module dimensions, lug locations, load per lifting point. These technical data optimized crane sizing, transport logistics, and man-hour resource allocation, integrating operational planning with the structural requirements of the project. 7.3.3 Assembly Stages Following the engineering, a procedure manual was consolidated that integrates the assembly sequence, modularization drawings, lifting plans, and the general structural arrangement. A 3D virtual simulation (Figure 6) validated the operational schedule, optimized resources, and identified logistical interferences early. Figure 6 - Video image of the step-by-step assembly 7.4 Manufacturing Phase To meet the schedule, manufacturing was distributed among four specialized providers such as crushing/screening stations, skid-type chassis, trusses and drives, and auxiliary components and chutes. The precision of the modular design made it possible to dispense with integral pre-assembly, validating the interoperability and dimensional fit of components manufactured independently in different geographical locations. This approach guaranteed final
