Description
SCM expects to reach daily processing levels of 140,000 tons of copper ore. This also results in a corresponding increase in tailings, the toxic mining waste that remains after separating the copper ore. Tailings are usually stored as a liquid or a slurry of fine particles.
Products Used
During the planning stage of the SCM project, Eugenio Rojas, an engineer with Golder Engineering, the project’s designer and engineering consultant, reached out to Penetron Chile to learn more about the performance of PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture for concrete, which had been successfully used in previous projects at the Sierra Gorda mines.
