Aboitiz Construction worked on the installation of structural modules, sandvik equipment and 16X Belt Conveyors, and civil works . The sorting plant will facilitate moving mining materials efficiently, thus decreasing  discarded wastes in the process.  

True to advancing business and communities, the project provided employment opportunities to about 200 individuals, of which nearly 80% were locally hired. 

“In line with our commitment to building a better future, we will continue to help other businesses to thrive and contribute to responsible operations which will lead to the provision of job opportunities and contribution to the economy’s growth,” said Aboitiz Construction Vice President for Construction Operations Alex Garciano.

Aboitiz Construction contributed in extending the mine life while reducing CDP’s logistical costs through reduced wastes.
