Antofagasta PLC said Monday that works on the Los Pelambres
desalination plant project in Chile have been put on hold as a
precautionary measure after sea swells overturned a construction
platform on Aug. 15.
The mining company said that the Chilean environmental authority
requested the suspension on Friday until the clean-up of the sunk
equipment carrying fuel or lubricants is carried out to remove the
rise of any environmental damage.
The severe sea swells overturned a construction platform, but
there has been no significant environmental impact or damage to the
works, Antofagasta said. The recovery of the lost equipment and
materials is expected to be completed once weather conditions
improve.
There has to date been no material impact to the expected
completion date of the desalination plant project.
