Molycorp Project Phoenix

Kleinfelder is providing geotechnical and materials testing services on Molycorp Project Phoenix, a $780 million expansion and modernization to Molycorp’s Mountain Pass Mine located in southeastern California.

Saving Time and Money With Immediate Implementation

The original alternative to address the need for additional building space was an expensive, time consuming site remediation program, including the possible implementation of specialized foundation design measures. Kleinfelder’s analyses showed an option that allowed immediate placement of fill without remediation—a solution that was successfully implemented, saving the client time and money.
