Detailed Engineering of Four Tunnels for Mauro Tailings Dam
In mid-2004, Minera Los Pelambres requested SRK to carry out the detailed engineering of four tunnels in Chile: Las Ánimas II, 3.5 km; Coirón, 2.5 km; La Guardia, 2.4 km; and Evacuador, 3.3 km-long. Geotechnical and engineering design, technical specifications, bid and permit documents, as well as cost estimates and construction schedules, were developed.
SRK provided advice on contractor selection and technical site inspections during construction as part of the service. The project was completed in early 2005.
