OEC Will Build Reservoir and New Cedae Pipelines, in Addition to Capacity for 55,000 Cubic Meters and Nearly Five Kilometers of Pipelines

The government of the state of Rio de Janeiro has green-lighted the construction of the New Guandu water production system, the Novo Marapicú reservoir, and five kilometers of pipelines in Nova Iguaçu, in the municipality of Baixada Fluminense. Cedae has made an investment in the necessary infrastructure (Companhia de Águas e Esgotos do Estado do Rio de Janeiro). OEC – Engineering and Construction will be responsible for the construction of the facility, which will have a storage capacity of 55,000 cubic meters.

More than three million people in the cities of Nova Iguaçu, Duque de Caxias, São João de Meriti, Nilópolis, and Belford Roxo, in addition to the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, will benefit from the system aimed at increasing the supply of treated water to Baixada Fluminense, ensuring operational security and agility to the Guandu system.

Specificities of the System to be Executed by OEC

The treated water pipeline, with a length of 3,900 meters and a diameter of 2.5 meters, will transport water pumped from the New Guandu ETA to the reservoir. The distribution trunk will have a diameter of 2.5 meters and a total length of about one thousand meters. It will connect the reservoir to the main pipeline of Baixada Fluminense. The total length of the spillway is 940 meters, and its width is 1.5 meters; it directs water from the reservoir to the canal on Ingá Street.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

Changan and Chery promise mass production of solid-state batteries with 1,500 kilometers of range in 2027 while Tesla still uses lithium and Toyota only promises to deliver theirs in 2028.

Volkswagen admits to Reuters that the value of its cars is falling in Brazil due to the aggressive entry of Chinese companies like BYD, but asserts that it will not enter a price war and believes it is well-positioned to hold back the advance.

How to make charcoal in the backyard using a small oven covered with galvanized sheets and sealed with fine soil, in a traditional Filipino technique called pugon that yields up to one and a half bags of charcoal per burn.

You won’t believe how industrial egg production works in Brazil and the level of technology behind millions of units produced every day.

Material practically banned for almost 90 years makes a strong comeback in construction: made of hemp and lime, it insulates 15 times more than concrete, absorbs CO₂ over the centuries, and challenges an industry that helped push it out of the market.
