DHL supports Livent Corporation in Argentina
DHL Industrial Projects has been supporting Livent with the expansion of its production facility in El Salar del Hombre Muerto in the province of Catamarca, Argentina. This includes international shipments, ocean charters for prefabricated modularised cargo, airfreight, storage and domestic inland transportation for one of the biggest providers of lithium compounds and specialists in lithium extraction.
Prefabricated modules and other materials are transported from Asia, North America, and various locations in Europe. With the production site located at about 4,000 m above sea level, DHL was contracted to provide numerous services for Livent, ranging from chartering and movement of over-sized cargo to personnel transfers to the site.
Factors such as the extreme weather conditions, lack of oxygen and limited telephone signal, among others, required highest HSE standards and additional safety arrangements for the staff. Services were monitored from a central control tower based in Buenos Aires, enhancing end-to-end processes. (mw)
