El Teniente Copper Mine Expansion
Fluor provided design, procurement and construction for an expansion of El Teniente, an existing underground copper mine and ore haulage complex high in the Chilean Andes that was the world’s largest such complex at the time.
The project increased ore production from 35,000 to 62,500 tons per day by expanding transfer and haulage facilities in the north and central areas of the mine and opening new ore blocks in the southern portion of the vast deposit.
