ECA Group supplied via ARJ Participaciones SpA, its distributor for Chile, a Pipe Cruiser system to the Lundin Mining corporation.

The system will be used for the inspection of pipes channelling copper tailings within copper mines located in Atacama region.

Up to now, this inspection was subcontracted to service companies, but Lundin Mining corporation decided to purchase its own mean of inspection.

ECA Group Pipe Cruiser solution was selected thanks to its technical characteristics and performance. The support provided locally by the distributor was also one of the key elements for the customer to place its trust in ECA Group solutions.
