ENVIRONMENTAL At CSM Group, we know that civil, structural, and mining/materials handling projects go hand-in-hand with environmental management solutions. That’s why we offer cost-effective, best practice environmental management services for all our clients for projects ranging from urban, commercial, and industrial developments, through to mining operations. We can provide our clients with a range of environmental management services during the development stage, including the compilation of vegetation management, and erosion and sediment control plans, along with other services such as water quality monitoring, and design services. Environmental solutions can also involve the use of a range of products. CSM Group is cognisant of the best and most innovative product solutions, such as silt fencing, turf reinforced mats, bio retention swale drains, hydromulching, versi-tank systems, rooftop gardening systems and many others that will be tailored to the requirements of each unique project. proceed with their projects even though they didn’t have the adjacent land owners’consent. The advantages of this unique system include: • Proprietary system concrete panel wall construction system that works via an internal propping system (ie, buttress piling, without external rock anchoring) • No authorisations required from adjacent landowners • Less risk involved in construction • Shorter construction duration • Cheaper construction costs This particular buttress piling system is applicable for clay/sandy soil stratas, however where the site is mostly rock we utilise a system known as‘buttressframing’. Buttress Framing System Buttress framing is similar in principle to the buttress piling except that instead of extra concrete piles inside the perimeter wall, a steel framing system supports the external loads from the inside. This system is utilised in rock stratas, again negating the requirement for the land owners’ consent. NEW PRODUCTS STRUCTURAL Buttress Piling Retaining Wall System This system was designed and patented by CSM Group’s senior structural engineer Edgar Agda to overcome a situation when the adjacent neighbouring land owner does not consent to rock or soil nail anchoring systems being installed underneath their property. This system is used as the bulk excavation retaining wall where deep underground basements are required in a building. Buttress piling is a system whereby a piered wall is restrained by inserting additional piers perpendicular to the wall (in towards the building). That is, away from the adjacent lot boundary in order to restrain the main wall from sliding, overturning and deflecting due to soil, pore pressure and other applied loads. The retaining wall system relies on the bearing capacity of material and cohesion between the piers in order to enable three-dimensional restraining actions to occur. This system has already been installed in 23 building sites. Developers could

BUILDING SOLUTIONS With intelligent 3D technology, CSM Group can integrate design and detailing services into any project, at any stage of its development. 3D Deliverables: • 3D Bim Model (Revit Arch, Struct, Mep, Plant) • 4D Bim Model (3d + time, ie, construct. schedule) Construction sequence videos played in time with your construction programme. • 5D Bim Model (4d + costings) Knowing the cost of your project at design stage with any number of options for final costs. • 6D Bim Model (Sustainability optimisation) Add sustainability options like energy performance analysis. • 7D Bim Model (Facilities and Asset Management) Your lifecycle data from concept stage will be harnessed to manage the remainder of the asset’s life in a visual and timed planned and predictive maintenance aspect. 2D Deliverables: • Mechanical Arrangements • Mechanical Details • Structural Steel Marking Plan G/A’s • Structural Steel Fabrication Details • Structural Concrete Arrangements • Structural Concrete Details & Rebar Detail Scheduling • Piping Arrangements • Piping Details and & Isometrics SERVICE CLASH REPORTS Service Clash Reports are a must for any development as they provide the client and or designer with a clear insight into a pos- sible clash between piping or another structural element or even two structural elements. These clashes can then be re-routed or or dealt with at the design stage by the designer instead of the contractor finding this error on site and thus resulting in a varia- tion from the builder to the client. The extra investment in model- ling the MEP in a structure eliminates these costly varations and is worthwhile for any size development. CSM Group can also design, project manage, supervise and certify your develoment. We provide a full engineering service for our clients in civil, structural, electrical, piping, landscape and town planning. The client benefits from our synergies between our departments which primarily acts as a one-stop shop for developers allowing time savings in dealing with other consultants. With the inclusion of our BIM Modelling and detailing services your development has the ability to have a 99.8% accuracy with no variaitions from your builder. A little extra time and energy spent upfront at design stage can now eliminate all those costly site variatons resulting in huge savings in final construction costs.

- 6. With intelligent 3D technology, CSM GROUP can integrate design and/or detailing services into any project, at any stage of its development. Intelligent 3D Technology CSM Group include the added benefit of including detailed information during the 3D modeling phase, within the model database. This is then utilised to produce 2D drawing deliverables automatically and efficiently, together with BOM’s and other client requested documentation. Design Scope Scoping and study layouts in 2Dimensional mode: • 2D mode is the most efficient and cost effective when starting a new project. • Utilize the smarter tools available in basic AutoCAD such as Xref (External Referencing) Customized management file procedures (CSM Group WorkSheets) Design Phase Development of the 2D layouts and then 3D intelligent model files. Detail Phase Production of the 2D deliverables, utilizing the 3D model File Databases for automated detailing information and annotation. 3D Model Clash Checking CSM Group’s procedures include a full set of check lists, for each engineering discipline, that are processed on the 3D Models to eliminate any clashes or design errors. These procedures and service clash checks guarantee that the 2D deliverables will be produced efficiently and accurately. Spreadsheets can then be generated from the 3D model to aid in Bill of materials, costing and Facilites/Asset Management. SERVICE CLASHES Service Clash Reports are a must for any mining or indus- trial plant as they provide the client and or designer with a clear insight into a possible clash between piping or an- other structural element or even two structural elements. These clashes can then be re-routed or or dealt with at the design stage by the designer instead of the contractor finding this error on site and thus resulting in a variation from the builder to the client. The extra invest- ment in modelling the MEP in a structure eliminates these costly varations and is worthwhile for any plant. A worthwhile invest- ment resulting in savings of many thousands of dollars, gen- erally 1 hours extra design saves 10 hours rertofit on site. 3D Deliverables: • 3D Bim Model (Revit Arch, Struct, Mep, Plant) • 4D Bim Model (3d + time, ie, construct. schedule) Construction sequence videos played in time with your construction programme. • 5D Bim Model (4d + costings)Knowing the cost of your project at design stage with any number of options for final costs • 6D Bim Model (Sustainability optimisation) Add sustainability options like energy performance analysis. • 7D Bim Model (Facilities and Asset Management) Your lifecycle data from concept stage will be harnessed to manage the remainder of the asset’s life in a visual and timed planned and predictive maintenance aspect. 2D Deliverables: • Mechanical Arrangements • Mechanical Details • Structural Steel Marking Plan G/A’s • Structural Steel Fabrication Details • Structural Concrete Arrangements • Structural Concrete Details & Rebar Detail Scheduling • Piping Arrangements • Piping Details and & Isometrics 3D BIM Model of mining plant and conveyor systems 3D BIM Model of a steam plant enclosure, piping and maintenance 3D BIM Model showing a service clash These are now fixed at design stage rather than retro-fitting on site PLANT MODELLING “1 - Service clash Check can save 1000’s of HOURS of Retrofit on site.”

We provide a full engineering service for our clients in civil, structural, electrical, underground services, landscape architecture and town planning. The client benefits from our synergies between our departments which allows the company to act as a one-stop shop for developers.m With the inclusion of our BIM Modelling and de- tailing services your infrastructure solutions have the ability to have a 99.8% accuracy with no variaitions from your contrac- tor. Remember 1 extra hour in design via BIM Moe- dlling nd service clash reporting and corrections saves 10 hours retrofit on site. CSM Group have designed these infrastrcture solutions and are developing these solutions for placement in your capitial city to ease the conjestion and incre- as the level of serive provided by your state roads department. We are also currently working on other infrastructure slutions that will be available soon. These type of solutions save the state governments $millions of dollars due to not having to resume local properties. The construction methods is relatively quick and the prod- uct can be built with environ- mentally sustainable solutions included. Elevated Roadway with sustainable and landscaped solutions - view from overhead Elevated Roadway - view from underneath Elevated Roadway with sustaniable solutions - view from roadway Main Advantages for Elevated Roadways: • Huge $ savings due to no land resumption costs attributed to the project • A sustainable design with water quality improvement features incorporated into the design • Concrete piers and beams can be coloured with a with an oxide allowing for the infrastructure to blend into the natural environment • Quick construction methods and work flows. • Elevated roadways can be electronically controlled with reverse direction of flow for morning and afternoon peak hour demands • Level of service improvements to A or B Levels Elevated Roadway Transport Solutions BIM Modelling for infrastucture allows the client to not only have a clear and concise view of where the budget is being spent it can provide animations of the new highway being utilised with flowing traffic and pedestrains walking in a real life 3D scenario. The engineers are able to clearly check and monitor sight distances and grades required to the relevant main roads standards and note any changes in grades that are not acceptable. Underground services can aslo be modelled and a check of the minimum clearance to these services may also be performed ensuring no clashes on site between other services or structures . Material quantities can easily be extracted from the 3D model with a cost component added for easy costings by the contractor. Construction sequence videos enable all construction staff to increase their work speed after viewing the complexity and intricacies of the project in 3D prior to construction such as the detailed re- inforcement cages in the piers and pile caps. Asset management spreadsheets can be exported for facilities management purposes, this enables easy use for maintenance scheduling and costs. “Viewing 1 Construction sequence video can save 100’s of MANHOURS ”
