The Resumption of Construction at the Natural Gas Processing Unit in Comperj Has Left the Residents of Itaboraí Excited.

The resumption of investments from the Petrochemical Complex of Rio (COMPERJ) in Itaboraí in the metropolitan region has generated optimism in the city, especially for Simone, a restaurant and inn owner: ” We suffered losses not only from the halted construction but also from some companies that failed to make payments to us; we are hopeful that the works will return with full force or at least half so the city can truly take off.”

The COMPERJ was to be the largest industrial project in the country, but four years ago it suffered a severe wave of layoffs due to the crisis at Petrobras. The complex was also the target of investigations in the Lava-Jato operation and left the city abandoned. Closed stores or those for rent, vacant commercial spaces, buildings, and stalled developments. Now the completion of the natural gas processing unit, essential for the operation of COMPERJ, emerges as a relief for the municipality that is rehearsing an economic recovery.

” The expectation is very positive; we even imagine opening a flat in the coming months as we prepare for this, keeping an eye on the influx of people coming to work in the city,” exclaims Guilherme Lubrano, Business Administrator. According to the Brazilian Association of Machinery and Equipment (ABIMAQ), the sector will have an impact of 18,300 jobs. ” The resumption of investments and the return for the completion of COMPERJ is essential for the Itaboraí region that aspires to the completion of the project,” states Karine Fragoso, oil and gas manager at FIRJAN.”

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar signed the agreement to connect Riyadh to Doha with a high-speed train traveling at 300 kilometers per hour, covering 785 kilometers of desert in about two hours.
