Geometrica Earns Bechtel's 2022 Supply Chain Excellence Award

Geometrica is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a recipient of Bechtel's 2022 Supply Chain Excellence Award.

Companies are evaluated on multiple factors including overall performance, ability to deliver quality services/supplies on time, ability to work collaboratively to meet milestones, and meeting or exceeding project expectations in aspects of safety, performance, technical expertise, and environmental compliance.

We recently had the privilege of collaborating with Bechtel, global leader in construction, on Teck Resources Ltd. Quebrada Blanca II project in Chile. The project team informed Geometrica of their need for a coarse ore storage dome. However, they didn't need just any dome, they needed a solution that would fulfill strict goals:

Safety: Bechtel is relentless in keeping people safe from harm. Safety was the absolute first priority in the project.
The dome had to be built with the stacking conveyor gallery already in place, and
The structure had to enclose the stacking conveyor's header structure.

Geometrica met the challenge: a "hyperbolic" dome geometry to be built using a lifting tower. The geometry provided for coverage of the existing conveyor header, and Geometrica's hydraulic tower lifted the whole dome as it was being built.

Nearly all dome assembly work took place at ground level, eliminating such hazard inherent to assembly at heights. Throughout the project the Bechtel and Geometrica teams worked in close coordination with the client, with the erection contractor and with each other to deliver a successful installation.

Integrity, safety and quality top Bechtel's values. This is manifest in their work, making our collaboration a truly pleasant experience.

It is a great honor for everyone at Geometrica to have earned Bechtel's prestigious recognition.
