[R0.2] Powder Operations Supervisor (speak, public): From an operational standpoint, we're looking at a 36-hour shutdown window starting 2026-05-02 for the installation. We need to ensure the new system fits within our space constraints - we have a 2.2 m x 3.0 m available pad, 6.5 m ceiling clearance, and an 18 m duct run limit. Additionally, our compressed air supply is at 7.0 bar with 12% spare capacity. We also have significant forklift and pedestrian traffic in the area, with 18 forklift crossings per hour at peak and a 42 m pedestrian walkway.
[R0.3] Procurement & Finance Business Partner (speak, public): The Capex estimate for the upgrade is around $980,000, which includes an 8% contingency. On the operational expenses side, we're currently spending $28,000 annually on cartridges and have disposal costs of $450 per ton for waste handling. I'd like to understand if there are any other non-public safety or quality factors that could impact our costs or delivery timelines.

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Process Safety & EHS Lead (speak, public): The proposed upgrade aligns with our NFPA compliance requirements, as our last Dust Hazard Analysis was completed in 2019-08, and we're due for an update.
