In the Capital of Roraima, Boa Vista, the Seventh Solar Power Plant Has Been Installed, Having the Capacity to Generate Over 7 Million kWh Per Year.

The solar power plant in Roraima is expected to save the public coffers about R$ 5 million a year, and over the next 25 years, about R$ 125 million – the lifespan of the entire system. Overall, more than 14,000 solar panels were installed at KM 516 of BR-174, in the rural area of Boa Vista, Roraima. The Roraima city hall has not yet reported on the investment in purchasing equipment, however, Mayor Teresa Surita states that the investment in the solar power plant should be paid off in five years, based on the savings in electricity for municipal buildings.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.
