The Experience of Carioca Engenharia in Port Works Strengthens Its Positioning in the Brazilian Market, Therefore the Company Was Chosen for the Signing of the Contract for the Expansion of the Port of Rio de Janeiro

Carioca Engenharia, a company with 76 years of tradition in planning and executing large infrastructure projects, has signed a contract with ICTSI Rio, a subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc., one of the largest port companies in the world, for the extension of the quay of its terminal in Rio de Janeiro. This contract for the project, which will increase the length of the port by almost 100 meters, aims to enhance the port of Rio de Janeiro’s capacity to accommodate more and larger vessels, according to the website Portos e Navios.

Strategic Positioning of Carioca Engenharia in Port Works

For Carioca Engenharia, this contract reinforces its strategic positioning in port works in the Brazilian scenario. With over 50 port projects in its portfolio, totaling 300 km of piles in Brazil and 150,000 m² of constructed ports, the company is recognized for its expertise in this sector. Daniel Rizzotti, CEO of Carioca, highlights: “We are prepared for the new phase of port development in the country with the signed contract. We have the technique, a large portfolio of equipment, experience, and innovation to help Brazil move forward”.

Innovation in the Foundation of Port Bases

One of the characteristics that differentiate Carioca Engenharia in the market is the use of new tools in the foundation of port and bridge bases in areas of great depth. The peculiarities of the soil, both on land and underwater, demanded the introduction of innovative techniques in the foundation phase for the placement of cased and precast piles up to 60 meters long. In the contract for the Port of Rio de Janeiro, the company will use the Ramlift, a floating pile driver owned by Carioca, measuring about 45 meters in length, 17 meters wide, and over 50 meters high from the tower. With driving power of over 20 tons-meter and equipped with hydraulic or pneumatic hammers powered by steam or compressed air, the Ramlift will be a key piece in executing this project.

The Importance of the Contract Between Carioca Engenharia and ICTSI in Rio de Janeiro

The signing of the contract between Carioca Engenharia and ICTSI Rio for the expansion of the Port of Rio de Janeiro represents an important milestone for the company and for the development of the port sector in Brazil. With its vast experience in port works and its capacity for innovation in the foundation of port bases, Carioca is prepared to contribute to the advancement of Rio de Janeiro in this strategic sector. The contract further reinforces the positioning of Carioca Engenharia as one of the leading engineering companies in the country.
