CONSUD

CONSUD was the acronym by which a joint venture, formed with an individual named Henry Arntsen, to perform multi-discipline projects in Argentina, was known. The concept behind the organization was that local nationals would be hired to actually perform the services while CH2M provided technical expertise.

Initially, CH2M viewed the pursuit of such work as an opportunity and over time, some studies were completed under the CONSUD name, but no projects were actually completed. Eventually, the business arrangements with the Argentinians were dissolved and CH2M came away from its first venture in overseas work richer only in experience.
