Project description:

The hydro-energy project is owned by CONENHUA, a subsidiary of Grupo Buenaventura – it is located at 4,100 meters above sea level in the district of Huanza, department of Lima, and was developed thanks to the Río Pallca Consortium.

One of the most important characteristics of this project is that it was tendered as a single package and for a single contractor, giving the opportunity to construction engineers to interrelate criteria, optimize the use of resources between the different works (synergy) and not having to depend on third parties to be able to advance the execution of some works.
