The mining market in Brazil is booming as a result of global demand for raw materials. Thanks to our extensive experience in the project management of major projects in Brazil, ARCADIS is well equipped to manage the country's most significant new mining projects.ARCADIS is currently providing overall project management services to CVRD's subsidiary Samarco for the construction of a new pelletizing plant and an iron ore beneficiation plant at the mine. The two units will be linked by a 249-mile iron ore pipeline that passes through 25 cities. The municipalities will profit from these new activities through increased tax revenue. What's more, Samarco – known as a socially responsible company – has invested in the development of local educational and cultural centers.
