CCC, Hatch to help Peru deliver largest drip irrigation project in the world
April 30 2024 - 1:08PM
Today, CCC signed a government to government (G2G) contract with
the Ministry of Agricultural Development and Irrigation of Peru to
help deliver the third stage of the $750 million CHAVIMOCHIC
infrastructure project with Canadian expertise from Hatch. Canada
was selected to offer project management services in December 2023
following a G2G procurement process.
The CHAVIMOCHIC project is a key pillar in the economic
development of northern Peru and completes the Palo Redondo Dam,
which will capture water from the Santa River to irrigate the Chao,
Virú, Moche, and Chicama Valleys, as well as to generate
hydroelectric power. Once completed, the project will be the
largest drip irrigation project in the world –
enabling Peru to cultivate an additional 63,000ha of land, as well
as improve existing farming operations in the region of La
Libertad, which represent another 48,000ha of land. It will also
supply reliable and sustainable potable water to 40,000 families
and create more than 150,000 new local jobs. The project is
expected to boost the agricultural and agribusiness sectors in
northern Peru, enabling the region to triple its exports from 400
million to 1.2 billion USD per year.
Based in Mississauga, Ontario, Hatch is a global engineering,
project delivery, and professional services firm. The company
delivers multi-billion-dollar projects for clients across the globe
in the energy, infrastructure, and metals sectors, including the
Fargo-Moorhead flood control project in the United States, the El

potash project and On-Corridor Works project in Canada. Through
CCC’s G2G contract, Hatch will provide project management services
to Peru’s Ministry of Agricultural Development and Irrigation – the
lead government body responsible for the development of the
CHAVIMOCHIC project. The ministry is tasked with growing,
diversifying, and fostering the country’s agribusiness.
