The Works Will Transform the Santa Cruz Plant into a Combined Cycle, Odebrecht Begins Its Recovery Phase.
[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]Odebrecht has just won a bid for a Thermoelectric plant project in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro. Although it has not yet been reported in the media, it won the bid by itself. No, you understood it wrong! It turns out that it competed with its overseas headquarters, alongside EBE and Promon Engenharia. The contract value is set at 600 million reais to convert the plant and establish a combined cycle. [See the video it published about its hiring phase here]
The project will not be easy, as its capital has significantly decreased in recent times due to its involvement in corruption schemes, but it is already negotiating with the justice system to resolve this impasse, which does not prevent it from participating in bids and executing works. As the prerequisite for the bidding was to have at least one foreign company involved, it was convenient to include its headquarters abroad as well. More than 70% of the machinery, equipment, and components for this project will come from outside Brazil.
The Santa Cruz Thermoelectric Plant currently operates as follows: Originally, there are 4 operating systems consisting of boilers, turbines, and generators. Of these, systems 1 and 2 generate 82 megawatts of energy, while systems 3 and 4 generate 218 megawatts. In its design, it was built to operate at cycles of 50 hertz, which caused many power outages.
