Acciona to rebuild quake-damaged Chilean hospital
Spanish builder Acciona Infraestructuras has announced that it has been awarded a contract to refurbish the Philippe Pinel psychiatric hospital in Valpaiso region (V), which was severely damaged by Chile's major 2010 earthquake.
Rebuilding works have begun on the US$31.9mn project, which calls for rehabilitating 12,655m2 and building 4,165m2, the company said in a press release. Works are expected to be finished in about two years.
Acciona has also reported that it has nearly completed construction on the 52,178m2, 168-bed Exequiel González Cortés hospital (pictured) in capital Santiago. The project is valued at US$70.9mn.
Both projects are part of the Chilean government's 2014-18 health investment plan, which includes delivery of 20 new hospitals, construction starts on another 20, and tendering or studying an additional 20 hospitals by March 2018.
Chile's ministry of health has signed a framework agreement for cooperation and technical assistance with the ministry of public works (MOP) to meet the plan's targets.
Elsewhere in the country, Acciona has a 40-year concession to operate the 91km highway No. 160 in southern Biobío region (VIII). It also built the first desalination plant using reverse osmosis technology for the mining sector in the city Caldera, and four wastewater treatment plants in Valdivia, Osorno, La Ligua, and Temuco.
