en.Wedoany.com Reported - The preparation of technical documents for the Tambillo Dam has officially begun with funding from Anglo American. The Moquegua Development Fund (Fondo de Desarrollo de Moquegua, FDM) has signed a contract with the company responsible for the final study, with an investment of 2.5 million soles. The dam will be built in the Sacohaya community, within the Ubinas district.

Alejandro Justiniano, Social Management and Development Manager at Anglo American, stated that the construction of this dam marks a milestone in fulfilling the 16th commitment of the Dialogue Table (Mesa de Diálogo). He also noted that this is the result of joint efforts with the Moquegua Development Fund, the regional government, and the Pasto Grande Special Project (Proyecto Especial Pasto Grande), which will ensure the technical feasibility of the Tambillo Dam. The company believes this project will bring significant benefits to the Sánchez Cerro province and Moquegua.

This project is one of the agreements reached between Anglo American and Moquegua at the Dialogue Table. The sixteenth commitment involves providing the necessary funds for feasibility studies or technical documents for the construction of a dam benefiting the people of Moquegua. In this project, the beneficiaries will be farmers in the Ubinas district of the General Sánchez Cerro province.

HC y Asociados will be responsible for preparing the technical documents, with a project duration of 180 calendar days. However, the consortium representative has committed to shortening this timeframe to facilitate the allocation of the Tambillo Dam construction budget within the next six months. The dam will have a storage capacity of 6 million cubic meters, with construction funded by the Ministry of Agriculture. Once completed, the dam will enable the expansion of sustainable agricultural activities on nearly 300 hectares of crops.
