ARCADIS AWARDED MAJOR CONTRACT FROM CODELCO IN CHILE
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), a leading international consultancy, design,
engineering and management services company, today announced that it has been
awarded a major contract to provide EPCM services (Engineering, Procurement, and
Construction Management) for the largest copper producer in the world, Codelco
Chile, at its Salvador Division in the Atacama Region, in the Andes Mountains.
This 15-month project with a contract value of US$ 9.5 million will require the
mobilization of about 100 professionals. It will be performed in cooperation
between the Chilean and Brazilian offices of ARCADIS.
The contract for the "Engineering and Administration of the Construction,
Staging, and Commissioning of the CT Slag Flotation Cleaning System at the
Potrerillos Smelter, Salvador Division" concerns the construction of a smelter
plant designed to minimize environmental impacts and maximize metallurgical
yield. ARCADIS will be responsible for overall management of the project,
providing engineering, procurement and construction management services and
support for the start-up of the flotation plant.
The flotation process will enable Codelco to discontinue certain process steps,
while treating the slag from copper concentrate smelts that were previously
discarded. As a result, the process yield is higher. At the same time, the
remaining flotation fluids that are disposed of in a tailings dam contain less
ore-particles and water, increasing the useful life of the tailings facility.
Through the new process the Potrerillos Smelter, reduces its emissions of SO(2),
ashes and particulate matter into the air.
"This is an excellent example of how the cooperation between ARCADIS offices in
different countries can lead to synergies. With the Brazilian experience in
large capital investment projects we can now also support Codelco with these
services in Chile," said Hernan Bezamat, CEO of the Chilean ARCADIS activities.
