CODELCO VP EL TENIENTE I – WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS

Located in the O’Higgins Region, in Rancagua, Codelco El Teniente Division is one of the most outstanding mining companies in technical aspects of subway mining and a worldwide reference. One of the problems encountered by the companies during the construction of the different subway tunnel galleries is water upwelling. Almar Water Services Latam performs the operation and maintenance of the water treatment plant that is drained from inside the tunnel, which allows the recovery of about 12,000 cubic meters of water per month to process copper ore.

In addition, the service performs the operation and maintenance of ventilation systems, pumping systems, water and oil separator plant, and sewage treatment plants. In this way, it provides critical support for the correct development of tunnel construction activities.
