Our Participation

The client requested us an analysis and response to the observations SERNAGEOMIN presented in Consolidated Report N°1 of Request for Clarifications, Corrections and/or Additions (ICASARA), in order to determine the existence of non-solved issues regarding possible environmental effects that could arise from the civil works associated to the project development, focusing on local geology, geophysical risk, hydrogeology and geotechnical subjects, within others.
