Featured Projects

Quellaveco Open Pit Copper Mine

Client: Anglo American Quellaveco (AAQ)
Location: Near Moquegua, Peru

Fluor performed engineering, procurement and construction to deliver one of the world’s most technically advanced mines at over 3,000 meters above sea level. Among a range of services provided by Fluor on this project, we applied our expertise to develop and manage open pit mining of a single porphyry copper deposit and ore processing in a 127.5 ktpd conventional copper concentrator, as well as the development of required mine and port infrastructure including river diversion tunnel, water and power supply, fresh water pipeline, access roads and worker accommodation.

Cerro Verde I and II Expansion Projects

Client: Freeport-McMoRan
Location: Arequipa, Peru

For the Cerro Verde I Primary Sulfide Project, Fluor provided EPCM and commissioning services for a new 108,000 tpd Cerro Verde I concentrator. Our scope included all process facilities, expansion of existing utilities, ancillary facilities and construction management of the tailing’s disposal facility. The project was completed three weeks ahead of schedule and within 2% of our feasibility study estimate.

For the Cerro Verde II Expansion Project, we performed EPCM and commissioning services for a new 240,000-tpd concentrator, including high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGRs). The project was constructed on time, on budget and ramped up to nameplate throughput.

Production Unit Expansion Project Details

Toromocho Expansion Project

Client: Minera Chinalco
Location: Morococha, Peru

Fluor provided EPCM services to expand the Toromocho Mining Unit, located east of Lima at an altitude of 4,500 meters above sea level. The main product of this open pit mine is copper concentrate, produced via a process consisting of crushing, grinding, floating, concentrating and thickening.

Phase One of the expansion was designed to increase the mine's copper production through the installation in a brownfield of additional equipment, including pan feeders, a new semi-autogenous grinding crusher (SABC) grinding circuit, a new cell flotation circuit, a copper concentrate thickener, tailings thickeners, a filtration and auxiliary facilities.

Phase Two will be a brownfield project, allowing for overall production capacity to increase.
