Insituform Secures Chilean Mine Contract

Insituform Technologies has secured a $10.3m contract from Freeport-McMoRan Mining Company to install mining pipelines at Minera Candelaria, Chile

Under the project, the US-based company will install over 14 miles of Tite Liner 24in pipelines, which are used to transport sanitary pre-treated water and seawater.

The installation of the pipelines will help preserve and protect scarce water resources at the mine and at the nearby community of Copiapo.

Work on the project is expected to be completed in March 2011.
