Once this work is completed, Stage Two begins with the bulk excavation of 90,000 m3 of material, across an area of 8,000 m2. Civil works continued in the second stage, with the design and construction of shoring. The shoring retention system comprised of reinforced concrete piles, reinforced concrete capping beam, anchors and shotcrete. Upon completion of the bulk excavation we completed the detail excavation of lift pits, strip footings and pad footings.
