SANTIAGO, CHILE--(Marketwire - Sept. 24, 2012) - Tecno Fast ATCO S.A. has been awarded a contract to build the second phase of a workforce accommodation expansion for the Escondida copper mine in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. Construction of the first phase of the project, which was awarded to Tecno Fast ATCO S.A. at the end of 2011, is expected to finish by the end of September, 2012.
