Cobrazil, a company specialized in electromechanical services, gained significant recognition during the maintenance shutdown that took place at the TERNIUM steel mill in Brazil, in the city of Rio de Janeiro – RJ. The company’s operations occurred at Blast Furnace #2 and in the Steel Mill, with 160 workers active between June 15 and June 30.

Reducing the Risk of Contagion of the New Coronavirus During Maintenance Operations Was Challenging

Steel mill activities are naturally high-risk, further exacerbated by the new COVID-19. There was a need to adapt the team of workers to ensure that the work was carried out with the maximum possible safety to reduce the risk of contagion, considering that RJ is one of the states with the most confirmed cases. Guidance, identification, and proper use of PPEs were within Cobrazil’s scope to mitigate the situation.

In the Steel Mill area, the structural repair of the rolling beam interconnection was completed, where the existing interconnection was removed to install a new system consisting of 36 welded plates and 36 pins.

In the Blast Furnace #2 area, the replacement of 20m of refractory frames and the welding of 85m of plates and metal structures in the four pig iron channels were carried out. Notably, the internal assembly of scaffolding in the Downcomer between elevations 81m and 72m allowed for the repair of ducts and welding of approximately 3000 metal staples for the subsequent application of the refractory.

The shutdown was completed on time and with guarantees and reinforcement of safety for its employees. Cobrazil aims to meet the needs of its clients, providing specific technological solutions while always ensuring the safety of people and facilities.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

While sanitation in Brazil serves only 55% of the population and discharges sewage into rivers, Singapore already recycles 100% of the water it consumes and has transformed sewage into award-winning potable water.

The Sagrada Família in Barcelona has completed its main structure after 144 years of construction — exactly 100 years after Gaudí’s death, and the tallest tower reaches 172 meters.

After mapping more than 200 million proteins, artificial intelligence enters the race to accelerate drugs, vaccines, and enzymes against plastic and CO₂, opening an era in which molecules can be designed on demand.

Sleeping in the coldest city in Brazil seemed like just another camping challenge, until the rain intensified, the hail fell, the meal failed, and the cold turned the night into a test of endurance.

A particle smaller than a human hair accelerates with light and promises to transform ocean uranium extraction into a giant bet to power China’s nuclear reactors without relying solely on the old passive collection method.
