Infrastructure

Client: Infrastructures Construction Company – Lima/Peru

Activity: Evaluation of concrete structures and service life prediction studies.

Year: 2010

Description: The concrete structures of the Lima and Callao Electric Mass Transport System were paralyzed for more than 20 years. In order to restart construction, it was necessary to carry out a thorough assessment of the degradation level of the structures, consisting of detailed inspection, field and laboratory tests, including ultrasonography, chloride content measurements, compressive strength tests and corrosion measurement in prestressed cables. With the information obtained, it was possible to carry out studies to predict the service life of the structures through concrete aging curves, supporting the recommendations for repairing anomalies and protecting the surfaces to achieve the project’s service life.

Client: Mining Company – São Luís/MA

Activity: Quality control in the construction of a sea port.

Year: 2010 – 2016

Description: For the construction of one of the largest port infrastructure in Latin America, with the capacity to move 100 million tons of iron ore per year, it was necessary to build a 1620 meter access bridge into the sea and two berthing fronts to receive up to 50 vessels per month. Recuperação Engenharia participated in this mega project, which used more than 160,000 m³ of concrete, as a Quality Consultancy and Technical Construction Monitoring company.
