Acciona Completes Works on Terminal 2 at Port of Açu: Learn About the Next Steps

Acciona announces the completion of the works for the Port Terminal T2, at the Port of Açu, in São João da Barra – RJ. Carried out for the client Prumo Logística, the project generated more than 3,400 direct jobs, with 90% of the workforce being local. The municipality is now prepared to enter a new logistical era in the merchant naval and oil industry.

The terminal, which required 21,000 tons of processed steel and 350,000 cubic meters of concrete, was built using Kugira technology, one of the largest floating docks in the world and owned by Acciona, which arrived in Brazil for the first time in 2011 exclusively for this project. As a result, the terminal is the first in Brazil to be built with precast concrete blocks. In total, 2,800 meters of protective dikes were constructed using concrete caissons executed at Kugira. A total of 42 floating blocks were used.

The use of this technology in the construction of the breakwater enabled a reduction of 8.5 million tons of rocks in the armoring. Furthermore, this method allowed for the non-emission of 100 tons of CO2. “Acciona celebrates the completion and delivery of this immensely important work. It was a very significant technical challenge, which we managed to accomplish with great quality and professionalism. The Kugira technology and the engagement of the team allowed us to develop excellent work,” says Flávio Luis Saraiva, construction director of Acciona in Brazil.

The Terminal T2 was built to be the gateway and protection from the open sea of the internal navigation channel of the Port of Açu. It will allow the passage and anchoring of large bulk carriers, steel products, coal, pig iron, granite, liquid bulk, general cargo, and vehicles, as well as equipment and materials intended for use in the exploration and production of oil and gas on offshore platforms. T2 has a length of 6.5 km, 13,000 meters of wharf, 330 meters in width, and a depth of 14.5 meters, and features an area in front of the internal channel, leased to companies supporting offshore oil and gas activities.
