Escondida Water Supply Desalination Stair Tread Reference
A comprehensive stair treads solution engineered for the demanding requirements of the Mining sector.
Location
South America
Client
Minera Escondida / BHP
Completed
Inaugurated April 2018
Total Area
Public scale: 2,500 l/s desalination plant serving Escondida operations.
The Challenge
Public project context: BHP states the Escondida desalination plant has 2,500 l/s capacity for mining water supply in northern Chile. Coastal process structures, pumping areas and pipeline facilities need stairs and access routes that resist corrosion and support regular inspection.
The Solution
Application reference: galvanized steel or FRP stair treads with anti-slip nosing suit desalination and mining water infrastructure where wet access, corrosion management and repeatable replacement details are important. This is not a Kingcats supply claim.
