The Sierra Gorda copper mine project in Chile made significant progress in 2013, completing 52.9% of construction by February 2014. Over 44,000 workers contributed to the project's development. Key milestones in 2013 included delivering additional equipment to operations and advancing construction of the processing plant from 8% to 12% complete between August and December. The project benefits the local and national economies by creating jobs, strengthening the mining industry, and increasing global copper supply. Production at the processing plant is scheduled to begin in 2014.

Service Water Heater Solahart Perawatan dan perbaikan yang tepat dari komponen sistem pemanas air panas matahari Anda diperlukan untuk memastikan tatanan kerja dan umur panjang yang baik. Pemanas air tradisional memiliki bagian yang perlu diperbaiki dari waktu ke waktu. Pemanas air panas matahari tidak berbeda, kecuali bahwa karena mereka memiliki lebih banyak komponen, ada lagi yang bisa salah.
Di antara bagian yang harus diperiksa secara teratur pada pemanas air matahari Anda adalah pompa, katup dan kontrol, isolasi, kabel, pipa, segel dan keadaan kolektor surya.
Memeriksa Storage Tank dan Inside Components
Banyak sistem pemanas air panas matahari memiliki tangki penyimpanan air terisolasi di tempat yang sama dengan pemanas air tradisional. Air dingin masuk dari air utama dan melalui sistem pipa, katup dan pompa, ia masuk ke kolektor surya dan kembali ke tangki penyimpanan. Jenis pemanas air panas matahari lainnya harus menjaga tangki penyimpanan di atas kolektor surya, jadi juga di luar-biasanya lebih tinggi di atap.
Either way, ada banyak pipa, fitting, katup, pompa dan kontrol yang perlu diperiksa secara teratur untuk memastikan mereka bekerja. Mereka tidak perlu diperiksa setiap bulannya, tapi dua kali setahun tidak terlalu banyak meminta cek kesehatan, Fitting harus ketat, katup tidak boleh menempel, pompa harus beroperasi secara otomatis dan seharusnya tidak ada keretakan, kebocoran atau kerusakan apapun pada tangki penyimpanan.

Improving profitability for small businessBen Wann
In this comprehensive presentation, we will explore strategies and practical tips for enhancing profitability in small businesses. Tailored to meet the unique challenges faced by small enterprises, this session covers various aspects that directly impact the bottom line. Attendees will learn how to optimize operational efficiency, manage expenses, and increase revenue through innovative marketing and customer engagement techniques.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

5. SCM Sierra Gorda has chosen Ingeniería de Transportes
Javier Cortés S.A. as his support for the transport of all their necessary supplies
for the construction and start up of the SIERRA GORDA project located in the
Antofagasta region.
No doubt this is a great recognition for Ingeniería de Transportes Javier Cortés
S.A. a company of a large and historical trajectory in the movement of oversize
and overweight transport in the Chilean mining.
The history of the company is certainly confusing with the growth of the
Chilean mining after it started as a transport company for general cargo it is
now specialized in the transport and operation of special cargo according to the
development of the Chilean mining beyond of the 70’s.
Ingeniería de Transportes Javier Cortés S.A., with more than 50 years in this
business,hasbeenstandouttotransportthemostheaviestanddifficultcargoes
in Chile, and that the transport on off-road trails to locations at 5,000 m.o.s.l.
hasn´t been an obstacle to his successful career.
For the construction of the Sierra Gorda project it was necessary to perform
more than 5.000 voyages with import cargoes and domestic supplies.
In order to address adequately this project, Ingeniería de Transportes Javier
Cortés S.A. increased its fleet of modular equipments and trucks in order to fully
meet the expectations of the client.
With the result of this project we are very optimistic to keep and strengthen
a long-term relationship with Sierra Gorda in order to participate in their
upcoming projects in Chile.
We take this opportunity to wish Sierra Gorda the best of success in the start up
of the mine.
Ingeniería de Transportes Javier Cortés S.A. is also actively involved in the
development of wind farm, photovoltaic, thermoelectric, hydroelectric,
cellulose, refineries and others projects as well in the consulting prior to project
implementation phases.
What makes that a certain company
has been selected as a support in
the development of a great mining
project in Chile?

Furthermore, 2013 saw the installation of all

Tis is keen to add that all of the

Giving back to the community is a
trait that in many ways has characterised

day it arguable remains best reflected
in the development, construction and
“Instruvalve”, a Chilean Company with
ten years of experience when it comes to
the control of fluids and automation, supplied a
package of electric actuators from Limitorque
USA to the Sierra Gorda Mine project. The
Limitorque actuators are used to operate ball
and gate valves in the raw water sea pumping
stations of the mine’s plant. Instruvalve also
assisted in the implementation of the system.
Instruvalve is grateful and thankful for the
confidence shown by Sierra Gorda and is
proud of be a technological partner of the mine,
wishing it great success in its future operations.
In its portfolio of products, “Instruvalve”
also offer hydraulic/electric actuators, valve
