Oher projects in Chile
FCC’s water management company has also been chosen by the Chilean com-
pany, Codelco, to perform groundwater treatment services using a nanofiltra-
tion plant for the Ovejería hydraulic barrier in Huechún, Metropolitan Region.
Worth 12 million Euros, the contract contemplates the engineering, construction
and commissioning of a nanofiltration plant with a production capacity of 100 li-
tres per second, as well as operation and maintenance for a 12-year period. The
aim is to ensure guaranteed quality water intake with a low dissolved salt content.
The Colina and Batuco communities, to the north of the Santiago de Chile me-
tropolitan area, will benefit from the construction of the new Cadellada treatment
plant, to be built by FCC Aqualia. The new plant, with a treatment capaci-
ty of 330 litres per second, will handle the needs of nearly 150,000 residents.
This turnkey project, valued at 15million Euros, includes the design, equipment, cons-
truction, commissioning and temporary operation to take place over a year and a half.
Subsequently, the company will offer operational assistance for one additional year.
