Mina Mascota

Project Highlights:

  • Diseño Civil
  • Investigación Geotécnica

La Mina Crestón Mascota se encuentra en Chihuahua, México; es propiedad y esta siendo operada por Agnico Eagle México. Tierra Group diseñó la plataforma de lixiviación de la etapa 4, el muro de contención, el cual incluye investigaciones geotécnicas, análisis de estabilidad de taludes y balance de aguas de la mina Mascota de Agnico Eagle con una plataforma de lixiviación en pilas de 5,000 toneladas por día (combinado con mineral de la mina Pinos Altos) en Chihuahua, México.  Además, Tierra Group proporcionó servicios de Aseguramiento de la Calidad para la Construcción de la plataforma de lixiviación etapa 3 y 4. La Fase 5 del patio de lixiviación es una extensión de la Fase 4 con una capacidad propuesta de 2 a 3 millones toneladas de mineral triturado. El proyecto incluye el desarrollo de dibujos de construcción y especificaciones técnicas que se utilizarán para la construcción de la instalación. El diseño incluye análisis de estabilidad de taludes, análisis de filtración, balance hídrico para verificar el tamaño de las piletas existentes y manejo de aguas pluviales para diseñar canales de derivación. Tierra Group también proporcionará servicios de aseguramiento de la calidad de la construcción (CQA) para la construcción de la expansión del patio, incluyendo observación de la construcción, colocación de arcilla y compactación, e instalación de liner.
