Comprehensive Leaching Pile Service
Comprehensive Leaching Pile Service
Total optimization of leach pads: performance, sustainability, and operational efficiency. Comprehensive solutions from design to daily operation.
What do we do in Leaching Piles?
At NTC Chile, we approach the operation and maintenance of leach pads comprehensively, incorporating technology, machinery, and an expert team to achieve maximum metallurgical recovery.
Our services include:
01
Smart and efficient irrigation
• Assembly/disassembly of irrigation systems (Primary, LSR, SBL, OBL, dumps). • Maintenance and cleaning of irrigation systems. • Drone control and monitoring. • Irrigation design and optimization. • Systems on high slopes. • High-tech materials and tools. • Mechanized installation of buried drippers (water savings). • Mechanized installation/removal of ThermoFilm.
04
Smart aeration
• Design, installation, and control of aeration systems. • Supply and installation as a service (Air-As-A-Service). • Georeferencing of drainage and aeration systems.
02
Infrastructure and operation with own equipment
• Tractors, excavators, backhoes, loaders, trucks, bulldozers. • Trench and access construction. • Ongoing operational support.
05
Advanced monitoring and control of variables
• Compaction and permeability measurements. • Process monitoring: flows, pressures, water table, temperature, oxygen, redox. • 3D tomography of historic piles (partnership with HGI HydroGeophysics).
03
Fluid management and treatment
• HDPE work (installation, heat fusion, part fabrication). • Gutter cleaning and repair. • Dynamic drainage line installation. • Dynamic filter bed recovery and replacement (heel-cover).
