NEWS RELEASE, 12 SEPTEMBER 2022
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AT LOS PELAMBRES DESALINATION PROJECT
On 15 August severe sea swells overturned a construction
platform working on the marine works of the Los Pelambres
desalination plant project. There has been no significant
environmental impact or damage to the works, and some of the
equipment and materials lost have been recovered. However, the
swells have continued which have impeded further recovery work and
the Chilean environmental authority, the SMA, has required on 9
September that as a precautionary measure marine works should be
placed on hold until the clean-up of the remaining sunk equipment
carrying fuel or lubricants is progressed such that any risk of
environmental impact is removed.
The recovery of the lost equipment and materials is underway and
is expected to be completed once weather conditions improve. To
date, there has been no material impact to the expected completion
date of the overall desalination plant project.
The site is being closely monitored for any potential
environmental impact and teams are on standby to take action if
required.
