The EBSE Project Is Being Developed in Partnership with UFRJ and USP

A new milestone is being reached by EBSE, the largest private boiler shop in Rio de Janeiro, with the inauguration of Pipewave, a company focused on the manufacturing of helical pipes. These products, made from rolled coils, have crucial applications in sectors such as sanitation, energy, chemistry, and oil & gas.

The decision to explore this new niche for pipes was driven by the Sanitation Framework, which aims for the universalization of water and sewage services by 2033. EBSE, in partnership with the Universidade de São Paulo and the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, is conducting this innovative project.

Envisioning New Opportunities: The Idea Behind Pipewave

EBSE launched Pipewave as a response to the growing demand for helical pipes. The decision to enter this sector was influenced by the Sanitation Framework, approved in 2020, which provides for the expansion of water and sewage services by 2033. Recognizing the potential of this rising market, EBSE conducted feasibility studies that confirmed the need for significant investments in the sanitation sector. The company decided to leverage its extensive experience and infrastructure to bring this new venture to life.

Promising Prospects for the Helical Pipe Industry

Pipewave aims to produce between 4,000 and 5,000 tons of pipes per month, ranging from 500 mm to 3,200 mm in diameter and from 6.35 mm to 25.4 mm in thickness. This innovative process uses steel coils, which are more economical than flat sheets, and operates in an automated manner, providing efficiency and agility. With the automation of the painting process planned for the coming months, Pipewave is set to revolutionize the helical pipe industry.

The sanitation sector is a major focus, but the company is also eyeing opportunities in other segments such as construction, pulp and paper, oil and gas, and mining. EBSE, in partnership with the Universidade de São Paulo and the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, is redefining the production of helical pipes, laying the groundwork for a more efficient and sustainable future.

Promising Prospects for the Helical Pipe Industry

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.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

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.

Giant tunnel boring machine Mary completes mission underwater in a $3.9 billion project in the USA, drills the bay in a historic crossing, and paves the way for new tunnels that promise to relieve one of Virginia’s most congested corridors.

US closes $2.29 billion contract with SpaceX to create a military satellite network in low orbit, connect sensors and weapon systems worldwide, and accelerate space defense by 2027

Group builds mud igloo next to a lake, mixes earth with straw, uses wire mesh as structure, and transforms an unlikely idea into a small handcrafted house where several people can enter.
