- Map identifying the locations.
- Quantitative and qualitative material assessment.
- Level of complexity of the structure.
- Possible grouping of services to be performed by each access.
- Assembly/disassembly timeline.
- Adjustment control.
- Percentage of spare equipment.
- Material movement control.
- Cost estimates.
- Record of qualified professionals for assembly and design execution.
- The access plan minimizes risks in the execution of the planning.
- Controls costs and ensures the safety of professionals.
