The Winning Consortium of the Corvettes

The Águas Azuis Consortium has the following composition:

ThyssenKrupp: With more than 8,000 employees, Brazil is one of thyssenkrupp’s largest operations outside Germany. The company has been present in the country since 1837 and operates in all Brazilian regions, with a strong tradition in the markets for materials, capital goods, and services.
Thyssenkrupp has 10 factories, 4 research and development centers, 2 service centers, and 79 branches and support offices in Brazil.

Embraer Defense and Security: It is the leading company in the aerospace and defense segment in Latin America. Its activities encompass the development, manufacturing, sale, and support of aircraft and systems, thus offering complete life cycle management of its products.
With its affiliated companies Visiona, ATECH, and SAVIS, it provides a comprehensive portfolio of integrated solutions that also involve the aerospace segment.

Oceana Shipyard: With a naval construction tradition of over 20 years, the Oceana Shipyard, which belongs to the CBO group, is located in Itajaí, Santa Catarina, a region with a strong vocation for shipbuilding. With approximately 310,000 square meters and over 1,000 employees, Oceana has the capacity to build four to six vessels per year, applying the latest shipbuilding processes and state-of-the-art technology facilities.

On this Wednesday, 27, the offers for the acquisition of the units for the sale operation of the four rigs from Sete Brasil were delivered. Click here for the full article!

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.

The interior of Bahia surges in industry and GDP, reducing the weight of Salvador and transforming the West, Feira de Santana, and Vitória da Conquista into the new economic engines of the state.

The lack of truck drivers has already left 20 trucks idle at a transport company in ABC Paulista and highlights the growing difficulty in hiring experienced drivers for hazardous cargo, while young people are migrating to apps, urban deliveries, and other forms of work away from the roads.

The hidden diamond crater in Siberia is almost 100 km in diameter, formed when an asteroid passed through the atmosphere at 20 km/s 36 million years ago, and is still being shaped by erosion in the Russian ice as one of the largest cosmic scars ever recorded by NASA on Earth.

While Brazil is still discussing how to store solar and wind energy, Portugal has set up three dams in the mountains to function as a giga battery of 1.15 GW and store renewable energy on a large scale.

A simple cable splice can cost R$ 500,000 in the high-voltage underground project that promises to change the energy game in Brazil and challenge the limits of national electrical engineering.
