Integrity

In 2016, Minera Centinela commissioned BRASS to conduct an integrity assurance study of the concentrate pipeline from the pumping station to valve station 1 (EV-1). In 2015, operational failures occurred in these sections, resulting in ruptures. BRASS analyzed available information, including operational, design, and construction data to determine parameters to enhance and optimize the integrity of the concentrate pipeline.
