Condestable

The Condestable Project is an underground deposit dedicated to the extraction of copper, gold, and silver. The operation is strategically located in the province of Cañete, in the Lima region of Peru, just 3 km from the Pan-American Highway, at a relatively low elevation of 100–400 meters above sea level, which facilitates logistics and operations compared to other Andean mining projects.

In this context, a series of specialized services and studies were developed, aimed at ensuring the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operation, as detailed below:

• Inspection and technical evaluation of tailings storage facilities, including field surveys and report preparation to support decision-making.
• Optimization and raising of tailings facilities, aimed at maximizing capacity, improving stability, and extending the operational life.
• Development of dam break simulation studies and associated risk analyses, considering different operational scenarios.
• Evaluation and selection of alternatives for the location and configuration of tailings facilities, with a focus on technical and operational feasibility.
• Preparation and modification of environmental instruments, including Environmental Impact Declarations and documentation for operating permits.
• Development of conceptual, basic, and detailed engineering for tailings facilities, filtration plants, and associated infrastructure.
• Updating of mine closure plans and physical and chemical stability studies, ensuring regulatory compliance and long-term sustainability.
• Supervision, quality control (QA/QC), and technical support during construction and operation, including facility raising and process optimization.
