This complex accommodated more than 5,500 people during the construction of Phase IV of the Escondida Copper Mine located in Chile's Atacama Desert at 3,100 metres above sea level. Tecno Fast ATCO (ATCO Structures' South American joint venture) overcame geographical challenges to manufacture and ship 80% of the 900 required buildings fully assembled, to minimize work required on-site. This project also included the installation of sewage and water treatment, electricity and other site services.
