INVA

INVA is a mining consultancy and engineering firm serving projects and operations in Argentina, Peru, and Chile. Its work spans the mining project lifecycle, from pre-investment and early planning through construction and operation, with an emphasis on business-case performance, predictable outcomes, and CAPEX control. The company brings together four areas: strategic consulting, multidisciplinary engineering, site supervision, and environmental management and permitting.

Its services include project management, reviews, value-improvement practices, and strategy; FEL 1, FEL 2, and FEL 3 engineering, geosciences, and BIM; construction quality assurance, construction management, project controls, health and safety, and inspection; and environmental impact assessments, permitting, audits, and ISO 14001 support. INVA says it applies IPA methodology and VIP standards, integrating risk management from the early project stages. The firm has offices in Lima, Santiago, and San Juan. Its broader initiatives include INVA Academy, which supports mining-sector professional development, and a developing artificial intelligence and data area focused on solutions for mining decision-making. INVA also publishes industry commentary on engineering, copper value chains, and sustaining capital.
