STRACON to carry out tailings dam work at Anglo American’s Los Bronces operation
STRACON has been awarded what it says is a significant integrated engineering, construction, financing and long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) contract in connection with the Pérez Caldera Tailings Dam, at the Los Bronces operation in the Lo Barnechea district of Chile.
The contract was awarded by Anglo American Sur S.A. and will be executed by the STRACON Engineering business unit.
Highlights of the contract include:
- Integrated, full lifecycle mining infrastructure solution: Demonstrates STRACON’s ability to deliver engineering, construction, financing and long-term operations and maintenance under a single execution framework, consistent with the company’s integrated infrastructure strategy; and
- Meaningful backlog addition and multi-year revenue visibility: Represents a long-duration infrastructure contract with a high-quality global mining counterparty, resulting in increased consolidated backlog and supporting recurring revenue and cash flow visibility over the contract term.
This contract supports the initiation of the Pérez Caldera Tailings Dam Removal and Water Resource Adaptation Project, which was environmentally approved by the authority in April 2025, and aligns with STRACON’s strategy of expanding its portfolio of long-duration, infrastructure-led service arrangements that integrate engineering, execution, financing and operations, it says.
Steve Dixon, CEO of STRACON, says: “This award reflects continued confidence from a leading global mining company in STRACON’s ability to deliver complex infrastructure solutions across the full asset lifecycle. Our integrated engineering, EPC, financing and O&M platform enables us to support mining clients from project development through long-term operations, while maintaining a strong focus on safety, execution discipline and sustainable value creation.”
Under the agreement, STRACON Engineering will provide full-lifecycle delivery of dedicated infrastructure assets required to condition, remove and transport tailings material from the Pérez Caldera Tailings Dam, the engineering firm added.
The project will be executed in accordance with STRACON’s established standards for health and safety, environmental management and operational excellence, leveraging the company’s multidisciplinary engineering capabilities, local execution teams and experienced operations personnel throughout the duration of the contract.
