Presenter James Obermeyer summarizes the collaborative design and construction process of a new tailings storage facility at the Cerro Verde mine that took place from 2008 to 2015.
The close partnership between the designer/engineer of record Stantec, the mine owner and operator Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde S.A.A., and its majority shareholder Freeport-McMoRan Inc. facilitated a robust design and efficient project execution. They continue to partner on the operational construction to rigorously achieve design expectations.
A geotechnical engineer with over 42 years of experience coordinating and managing multidisciplinary projects, Jim currently provides senior technical review on several of our major tailing dam and water storage dam projects all over the world.
