Drilling & Blasting  


French infrastructure provider Vinci has won a contract to design and build two tunnels in Chile. The US$400 million contract was awarded by Codelco, the Chilean national copper company.
The Túneles de Acceso Principales del Proyecto Nuevo Nivel de Mina El Teniente project covers the drilling and blasting of two 9km tunnels, each with an average cross section of 65m2, together with two intermediate access tunnels totalling 6km. The first of the main tunnels is for transporting personnel; the other is for ore. The tunnels will enable a new mine level to be created.
The works, which are scheduled to start in October 2011, will take 40 months to complete.
