Bechtel, a global leader in engineering, procurement, construction, and project management, today announced an agreement with Echeverría Izquierdo Montajes Industriales S.A. (EIMISA), a leading Chilean construction and industrial services company, to support the delivery of select large-scale mining and infrastructure projects in Chile and across South America.
As mining investment accelerates across the region, customers are placing greater emphasis on how complex projects are delivered — seeking efficient execution while maintaining high standards for safety and quality.
Under the agreement, Bechtel and EIMISA will work together on projects where their capabilities are most complementary, combining Bechtel’s expertise in engineering, procurement, and project delivery with EIMISA’s proven track record in direct-hire construction across Chile.
“Delivering complex projects at scale requires more than capability — it requires the right model,” said Lucy Martin, President of Bechtel’s Mining & Metals business. “This partnership reflects a deliberate approach to execution, combining our end‑to‑end delivery capability with EIMISA’s strong construction presence in Chile to strengthen how we deliver across the region.”
“This agreement builds on a strong history of trust between our companies,” said Darío Barros Izquierdo, CEO of EIMISA. “Bechtel’s global expertise and technical resources, combined with our local knowledge and execution capability, create a powerful team to support Chile’s growing portfolio of complex projects.”
