Dredging of the São Lourenço Channel in Niterói Will Require Investments of R$ 200 Million and Allow Larger Vessels Access to the Shipyards

After the Niterói City Hall announced it will invest R$ 200 million in the dredging of the São Lourenço Channel, the project has now completed another phase, utilizing resources from oil royalties related to the exploration of the Lula Field.
The city hall has just obtained the license from Inea (State Environmental Institute), and the works will increase the draft (depth) from seven to 12 meters, enabling large vessels to access the shipyards along Avenida do Contorno in Barreto, near the entrance to the Rio-Niterói Bridge.

With the works on the channel, which has become an old ship graveyard in Niterói, the shipyards will be benefited, as larger ships will be able to access the shipyards located there.
The causes of the silting in that area of Guanabara Bay were the landfills made during the construction of the Rio-Niterói Bridge in the 1970s.

Naval Hub and Fishing Terminal

The investment from the Niterói City Hall aims to recover the naval hub in the region, but it will also be important to put into operation a fishing terminal that cost R$ 10 million to the federal government and has never operated.

The terminal was inaugurated by then Minister of Fisheries Marcelo Crivella in 2013 and occupies an area of 7,200 square meters near the Rio-Niterói Bridge, which is currently abandoned, but which the city hall hopes to recover through a public-private partnership (PPP).

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.

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.

End of blind excavation: artificial intelligence detects pipes, cables, rocks, and voids before construction begins and promises to avoid million-dollar losses hidden underground.

Uranus and Neptune may not be the “ice giants” we learned about in school: new models suggest much rockier interiors, chaotic magnetic fields, and show that even the planets in our Solar System still hide structures that science cannot fully explain.

The United States is building an aircraft carrier that will never touch water: a ship that remains stationary in orbit, loaded with spacecraft, and opens its hull to release them in a matter of hours, ready to replace a downed satellite before the enemy notices.

Discover which are the highest-paying jobs in Brazil, with salaries above R$ 20,000, in fields such as technology, medicine, finance, and industry.
