elationship Engineering It is a major accomplishment of engineering, one of the most important and emblematic to be completed in the transportation sector in Rio de Janeiro’s history.

However, most importantly, it represents a relationship project. The construction of the Rio de Janeiro Subway Line 4, which will connect Barra da Tijuca to the city’s Southern Zone, will be the product of services completed in an essentially urban region, with a high population density and marked by contrasting social-economic realities, with all the challenges that this scenario involves.

The first phase of the project will include 10 km of subway lines, connecting Jardim Oceânico, in the neighborhood of Barra da Tijuca in the city’s Western Zone, to the neighborhoods of São Conrado and Gávea in the Southern Zone. The work, initiated in March 2010, is currently developed on three odebrechtnoticias.com.br / nº 271 / november 2011

Line 4 will have a total extension of 16 km between Gávea and Ipanema, connecting with Line 1 at the General Osório Station. It is expected that the new line will begin operating at the start of 2016 and it is estimated that 240,000 passengers will pass through it per day. The trip from Barra da Tijuca to the Downtown area takes 35 minutes. For the city, this means fewer traffic jams, less pollution and more comfort, speed and safety for people commuting from their homes to work and leisure activities.

“Our challenge is the people; the surrounding area,” said Juliano de Abreu Penteado, from Odebrecht Infraestrutura, Production Manager of the Construtor Rio Barra Consortium (also formed by Queiroz Galvão, Carioca, Cowan and Servix).

The occasion marked the second on-site module and closure of the course, which began in April 2011.

The city of Schwanau was chosen to host the meeting, since it houses the Herrenknecht plant, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of the TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine), site of the program’s practical training.
