PORTS AND WATERWAYS

ENGECORPS meets the needs of the ports and waterways sector, whether with slope transposition systems, intermodal terminals, shipping channels, as well as in coastal works such as mooring structures, protection structures, marine, desilting, large dams dry and auxiliary equipment.

Astialba Shipyard

Construtora Andrade Gutierrez S.A.

Located in Venezuela, in an area of ​​200,000 hectares and high seismicity, the Astialba Shipyard is configured by a port and industrial plant for the manufacture and repair of oil tankers (VLCC, AFRAMAX and SUEZMAX), with annual production of processing for 250,000 tons of steel. The works included the elaboration of the Civil, Architectural and Structural Basic Designs of all onshore and offshore units, covering three dry docks, berthing structures, berths, maritime protection works, industrial and administrative buildings, utility networks, patios and storage areas and road system. Subsequently, the Final Design was developed for a revised annual production of 100,000 tons of steel, comprising offshore infrastructure projects and industrial buildings, systems, service and utility networks.

Tietê Paraná Waterway

Waterway Department of São Paulo

Management and technical coordination of the Work Program for Elimination of Bottlenecks, Implementation of Extensions and Terminals in the Tietê-Paraná Waterway managed by the Waterway Department - DH of the State of São Paulo. The program includes the supervision of the elaboration of projects and the execution of works along 800 km of waterway. It also provides for the extension of the navigation system by another 200 km and the implementation of a new dam and associated works. The following types of interventions are planned: expansion and protection of bridges; amplification and rectification of channels; improvements in locks; implementation of terminals.

Santa Catarina Terminal

TESC Terminal Santa Catarina S.A.

Technical supervision, management and supervision of works to expand the quay, construction of two substations, exit gate with built-in scale and support buildings of TESC - Terminal Santa Catarina SA, one of the main port terminals in Brazil, located in the complex port of San Francisco do Sul, as well as the paving of the dry yard REDEX (Special Enclosure for Customs Clearance of Exports), with an approximate area of ​​40,000 m², implementation of the fire-fighting network and construction of the buildings supporting the Port Terminal of the WRC Port Operators S.A., of the TESC Group.

Lock System of Tucuruí HPP

Electric Power Stations of Northern Brazil - ELETRONORTE

Updating of basic design, elaboration of the final design and technical follow-up of the complements of the Tucuruí/PA System of Transposition of Density, composed of Locks 1 and 2, with a navigation channel between them, called Intermediate Channel, contained laterally by a compacted soil dam, interconnecting the two chambers of the locks. The main characteristics of the locks are: length and width of the chamber of 210.00 m and 33.00 m respectively, maximum operational slope of the order of 35 m, maximum draft of 4.50 m. The peak filling flow rate is 500.00 m³ / s and the concrete volume is of the order of 300,000 m³ for each one. The larger gate has 38.80 m in height and 17,000 kN in weight. The compacted soil volume of the intermediate dam is 2 913 490 m³, the total length is over 6 km and the maximum height is around 30 m.

Penha Lock

Waterway Department of São Paulo

Final design of the civil and electromechanical works of the Penha Lock, an integral part of the Metropolitan Water Ring of São Paulo, located next to the Penha Dam. Its objective is to provide a level transposition between the currently navigable upstream stretch from the Edgar de Souza reservoir to 41 km and the future upstream stretch to the district of São Miguel Paulista, with another 14 km. The work was initiated by field investigations and surveys, integrated assessment of impacts on social, economic and environmental aspects, technical and economic studies of traffic capacity followed by the conceptual design and culminating with the final design of civil works and electromechanical equipment, of the buildings, of the operating systems and of the other items necessary for the implantation of the future lock.
