Hatch

The next #HatchBuildsProjects feature is powering potash production to protect the planet’s food future. 🌱    By 2050, global food demand will increase by 60%. The Mosaic Esterhazy mine in Saskatchewan, Canada, one of the world’s largest potash complexes, is crucial for agricultural growth. Despite challenges, our advanced modularization techniques saved 12 months on the schedule, enhanced safety, and reduced costs.    Today, the K3 mine employs over 1,000 workers and lifts over 21 million tonnes of potash annually, supporting global agricultural growth and sustainable food security.    Explore more: https://lnkd.in/gpXr6_qf #SignatureProjects #EngineeringExcellence #CapitalProjects

In the remote expanse of the South Pacific, New Caledonia, a small French territory with an abundance of natural resources has been witness to an engineering feat that set a new standard for the global mining industry—Project Lucy. Spearheaded by Prony Resources New Caledonia (PRNC), this project redefined the future of tailings management by transitioning from traditional wet stacking methods to a sustainable and environmentally friendly dry stacking approach. As the engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) contractor, we played a pivotal role in overcoming the complex challenges of the region’s unique environmental, logistical legal, and social conditions. Lucy's success underscores our role as a trusted partner in its execution and sets a new benchmark for tailings management in the mining industry.

The Quebrada El León Flood Control project demonstrates our innovative and resilient approach in addressing critical infrastructure needs.  Situated in Peru, this project was the first ARCC flood control initiative completed, successfully reducing risks of recurring flash floods caused by El Niño events. It includes a 20-km canal designed to avoid human intervention during operations, protect environmentally sensitive areas, and significantly cut costs using local materials.  We are proud to have received the Award of Excellence by the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies - Canada (ACEC-Canada) for this project, highlighting the impact of our design role in safeguarding local communities and optimizing construction efficiency, with a budget reduced by over 50% compared to earlier plans.    Learn more about our role on this project: https://lnkd.in/gd-MdMXM  #ProjectDeliveryExcellence #HatchAwards #Sustainability #PositiveChange #20DaysofExcellence

The Central Hidroeléctrica 3 de Febrero—formerly known as the El Chaparral project—in San Miguel, El Salvador was a project once on the verge of abandonment. Today, the 67-MW hydroelectric power plant is a symbol of perseverance. And if power plants could talk, this one would tell quite the tale. We were engaged to deliver El Chaparral because of our international reputation as a trusted, global firm with deep technical bench strength. Our first order of business: to determine the path forward. From embarking on full-scale review of 12 years’ worth of designs, handovers, relocations, change orders, and more, to providing construction management support for a large 10.8 km2 surface area annual storage reservoir, we worked with the government of El Salvador to deliver a project that became a political and economic success. The dam itself has become a legacy, a landmark, and an ongoing source of prosperity.
