Punta Patche
The Rundown
The mine in Chile is a vast sprawling copper mine, and we are installing a building to store copper concentrate in port before it is moved to ships. The scale of this building is impressive, and the conveyor system supported by our roof frame is the heaviest we have ever worked with. The corrosion issue is that copper concentrate reacts chemically with galvanizing, so that was not even an option. Our Epoxxishield perfectly met their specs and requirements.

Testimonials
The new building will protect the salt supply.
It will be protected from being compromised by wind and precipitation. Once the general contractor completed the footings and floors, Legacy installed the fabric building very quickly, in about two weeks. It was a very positive process with professional communication between Legacy and Dewberry throughout the project.
Great service over many years.
The facility looks great and it is very photogenic, which is important since we get a lot of media coverage.
The building allowed us to get everything we wanted for the price we could afford.
We are really happy with everything it’s provided for our community, including the lifestyle changes. We attracted 30 new kids to our school, which is really big for our town. And we feel that building is one of the main reasons for it. The building allowed us to get everything we wanted for the price we could afford.
