According to the state-owned company, the procedure will be gradually implemented in other offshore units after assessing the increase of in-person staff.

This month of July, Petrobras started risk assessments to plan a gradual and safe return to in-person work in some units. In this phase, new preventive barriers are expected to be implemented according to the nature of each unit to enhance safety.

New Pre-Boarding Procedure Adopted by Petrobras for Increasing Offshore Staff

Starting 07/27, in addition to home monitoring pre-boarding, employees working on these platforms will undergo RT-PCR testing, which identifies the presence of genetic material from the virus, before boarding. For employees who do not reside in the boarding location, the last isolation period (up to 3 days) will take place in a hotel, to facilitate the test collection and await results. Employees who test positive will be directed to isolation with medical monitoring.

Whether in the hotel or at home, employees will be advised to maintain strict preventive measures against Covid-19, especially after test collection. Travel to the boarding point will also need to adhere to strict safety standards, ensuring that, after testing, the employee does not come into contact with possible sources of contagion.

With this change, the work schedule for employees on the Búzios asset will return to 14 x 21, and for employees residing outside of Rio de Janeiro, during the last 3 days of time off, they will be in a hotel to comply with the new health protocol. The hotel stay will be treated as a credit of 8 hours per day in the hours bank.

All unit employees (employees and staff from service providers) will undergo testing, except for those who have previously tested positive for RT-PCR and have already received medical clearance.

This strategy was designed as another barrier to prevent contagion, added to other already implemented measures (such as the use of masks, enhanced hygiene, and social distancing, for example). Thus, it will enable the gradual increase of workforce occupancy in the units, safely. Results will be monitored by health specialists. The new procedure will be gradually implemented in other confined units, based on market capacity for providing testing supplies and specialized services.

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.

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 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.

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.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

While millions receive Bolsa Família, thousands of Chinese arrive to work in Brazil, exposing the uncomfortable debate about qualification, productivity, employment, and dependence on public money.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

The first ammonia-powered cargo ship has already been realized with a capacity of 46,000 m³, dual-fuel engine, and a promise to cut carbon in heavy maritime transport.
