PhC Ingeniería joins the Villari Certified Partner Program to bring advanced structural health monitoring to Chile's mining sector and beyond

Delft, the Netherlands – March 11, 2026, Villari is proud to announce that PhC Ingeniería has joined the Villari Certified Partner Program, expanding access to continuous crack-detection and fatigue monitoring technology for asset operators across Chile and the wider Latin American region. 

Based in Chile, PhC Ingeniería is a specialist engineering consultancy focused on extending the operational life of the critical infrastructure that sustains the mining industry. Led by consultant Phillipo G. Correa Marchant and backed by a network of senior specialists in seismic regulations, advanced structural analysis, and risk management, PhC Ingeniería evaluates and optimizes the structural resistance of mining facilities, with expertise in mining plants with more than 25 years of operation. Their approach combines deep structural diagnostics, risk-based technical prioritization, intelligent maintenance planning, and strategic consultancy, ensuring that structural decisions balance safety, operational continuity, and long-term asset projection. 

As Villari's representative in Chile, PhC Ingeniería will serve as the local point of contact for operators seeking continuous, real-time insight into the condition of their steel assets. By integrating Villari's wireless Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technology into their inspection and monitoring services, PhC Ingeniería can now offer customers an additional layer of data-driven intelligence, enabling early detection of steel fatigue, more accurate inspections, and maintenance planning carried out with far greater confidence. 

"The mining sector demands reliability. Structures operate under extreme conditions, and unplanned failures carry a high cost — in safety, in downtime, and in resources. With PhC Ingeniería representing Villari in Chile, operators in the region now have access to the continuous structural monitoring they need to stay ahead of those risks." - Olivier Baas, CEO at Villari 

For PhC Ingeniería, the partnership reinforces their mission to transform structural uncertainty into confident asset management. 

"Mining structures operate under extreme and continuous load, the margin for error is simply not there. By partnering with Villari, we can now offer our customers continuous, real-time insight into the structural health of their assets. That means earlier detection of fatigue, smarter maintenance planning, and fewer unplanned interruptions to their operations." - Phillipo G. Correa Marchant, PhC Ingeniería 

As a Villari Certified Partner, PhC Ingeniería receives full training, technical support, and access to the latest sensor technology from Villari.
