Infrastructure, Oeste-Leste Railway Works/Bahia

With approximately 1,527 km in length, the West East Integration Railway-FIOL will connect the future port of Ilhéus (on the Bahia coast) to Figueirópolis (in Tocantins), where it will connect with the North-South Railway.

Objectives

Establish more economical alternatives for long-distance cargo flows;
Favor multimodality;
Interconnect the Brazilian railway network;
Propose a new logistical alternative for the flow of agricultural and mining production through the port terminal of Ilhéus/BA; and
Encourage investments to enhance production and induce modern production processes.

Benefits

Reduce transportation costs for grains, alcohol, and ores destined for domestic and foreign markets;
Increase the agro-industrial production of the region, motivated by better access conditions to national and international markets;
Interconnect the states of Tocantins, Maranhão, Goiás, and Bahia to the ports of Ilhéus/BA and Itaqui/MA, which will provide better
economic performance for the entire railway network;
Encourage investments, modernization, and production;
Improve income and wealth distribution nationwide;
Reduce pollutant emissions;
Reduce the number of accidents on highways.

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.

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.

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.

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.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.

The James Webb telescope detected the climate of a planet 280 light-years from Earth, with days hot enough to forge iron and nights covered by dense clouds, where winds reach 8,000 km/h.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.

A British company installed Japan’s first megawatt-scale tidal turbine under the Naru Strait, generating clean electricity from the predictable force of the tides, without relying on wind or sun.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: compact robots use AI, carry bricks and mortar, pass through doors, work in teams, and are already building real facades in Europe.

Labubu officially arrives in Brazil in June with prices up to R$ 799.99, attempts to curb the invasion of counterfeits, and turns serrated-tooth dolls into a new craze among collectors.

Luciano Hang, owner of Havan, surprises and announces R$ 100 million to employees with the advance payment of the PPR and 13th salary for more than 23,000 employees during the 40th anniversary of the retailer, which aims to reach 200 megastores in Brazil.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.

Scientists discover why gold remains unrusted for thousands of years and reveal atomic reorganization that reduces reaction with oxygen by up to 1 trillion times

A gigantic piece weighing 300 tons, equivalent to two Statues of Liberty, was hoisted almost 100 meters high in the interior of Mato Grosso do Sul to complete the largest recovery boiler in the world inside the R$ 23 billion megafactory of cellulose.
