This facility plays a strategic role in the management and disposal of residues generated by the production process.<br \/>\nThe site operates under high mining safety standards, including the implementation of the first emergency coordination plan in Chile specifically associated with a tailings storage facility. The plan establishes timely response procedures for potential emergency scenarios, ensuring the protection of personnel, infrastructure, and the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional Services Performed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Within the framework of a collaboration with the consulting firm Golder Associates, IGEAS Engineering carried out technical studies related to the Emergency Evacuation System, with particular focus on the spillway channel.<br \/>\nThe activities were aimed at defining a structural and hydraulic strengthening strategy intended to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure the operational continuity of the system;<\/li>\n<li>Maintain and optimize existing functional performance;<\/li>\n<li>Increase safety levels under emergency conditions;<\/li>\n<li>Guarantee the structural reliability of critical components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Main System Components<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Emergency Evacuation System consists of the following elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Evacuation channel composed of a double collector channel lined and sealed with concrete slabs;<\/li>\n<li>Reinforced concrete energy dissipation chamber;<\/li>\n<li>Discharge shaft leading to the tunnel, with a diameter of 2 m and a height of 43 m;<\/li>\n<li>Tunnel with a base width of 3.5 m;<\/li>\n<li>Terminal channel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1174,"parent":0,"template":"","settore":[27],"class_list":["post-3522","realizzazioni","type-realizzazioni","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","settore-geotechnical-engineering-and-rock-mechanics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Proyecto 110\/2016.
