Deposit and process: what the material is, how it formed and any useful product or sample information.
Pipe or surface: dimensions, construction, condition and any coatings, linings or previous repairs.
Work area: access, isolation and whether the equipment can be taken out of service.
Recovery and finish: how solids and washwater will be collected, and how the finished work will be checked.
