Primero will be responsible for the design, supply, construction, and commissioning of the Non-Process Infrastructure facilities on site under the terms of the contract. It includes the Refuelling facility, Mobile equipment repair facility, Primary crusher maintenance facility, Washdown facilities, Wastewater treatment plant, and Water infrastructure.
