This project will install over 14 miles of Tite Liner in 24-inch pipelines used to transport sanitary pre-treated water and sea water.
The installation of Tite Liner will help preserve and protect scarce water resources at the mine and at the nearby community of Copiapo.
Hatch Engineering is in charge of the design and management of this project and worked with United Sistema de Tuberias to design the project using Tite Liner as an effective method to resist internal abrasion and corrosion in pipelines.
Work on the mining project is expected to be completed in March 2011.
