Long Steel Project Promote In the city of Volta Redonda, State of Rio de Janeiro, through an Alliance agreement established with CSN - Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional, Odebrecht Engenharia Industrial is installation a rebar and wire rod production unit called UPV Long Steel, with the capacity to produce 500 tons per year. There are currently 3,943 Members participating on the project, which required 4,500 workers at the peak of the construction work. The civil construction work is tapering off and the electromechanical assembly services are now earning steam. In order to meet the demand for labor during the project’s civil and electromechanical stages, Odebrecht implemented professional development and training programs.

In addition to silent, the unit will be “clean:” a series of anti-pollution equipment, primarily the so-called “dust removers” – which vacuum the solid particles and prevent their release into the air –, are being installed. CSN Long Steel will also reuse 97% of the water used in the steel manufacturing process, with the remaining 3% represented by losses due to evaporation. The plant will be the semiintegrated type and will use as raw material the metallics, better known as scrap metal. Steel from automobiles, refrigerators, washing machines and other products will be purchased at junkyards, melted and then transformed into rebar – used primarily in civil construction – and wire rod, used to produce screens, wire, screws and nails. CSN plans to purchase 40,000 tons of scrap metal per month.

Odebrecht in Panama Promotes Recycling After use, tires are hazardous waste when they become breeding grounds for the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which transmits dengue fever, or when they are burned. Faced with this scenario, the Communities team of the Panama Subway Line 1 Consortium – of which Odebrecht is part – and 760 students from 11 schools located near the project, collected the tires used in the construction projects and transformed them into new objects. The initiative is part of the Educate to Conserve Community Program, which promotes recycling and tire and scrap metal painting workshops for students, who help transform normally useless objects into products with collective benefits.
The workshop participants also learned to work in teams, as well as how to conserve the environment
