  5. Consulting services for assistance with the preparation of tender documents, tender analysis, attendance of factory tests and supervision of project construction up to final acceptance.
  6. Training and institutional support to include employee training and preparation of studies required for the re-organization of the company and the determination of the guidelines and procedures to be used in the implementation of the results of the studies.
