New Project Provides That the Construction of New Railways Be Made Through Simple Authorization, Based on the Expression of Interest

The Ministry of Infrastructure is mobilizing a series of projects that should be submitted to Congress for the approval of the new legal framework for railways. Bill No. 261 was forwarded to the Senate in 2018, which provides that new railways can be built with simple authorization based on the expression of interest from any private company. Currently, railways are constructed in Brazil through public concessions.

Tarcísio de Freitas, Minister of Infrastructure, says, “This is an important project for us because it advances, facilitates, and streamlines. It allows someone willing to take the engineering risk to do so with regulatory benefits. The entrepreneur has more flexible regulation, has more freedom to operate with their asset and the time it takes to amortize the capital.”

In the authorization model, the company becomes the owner of the entire railway and no longer belongs to the Union. The proposed model today is already applied in private ports, where the government issues the authorization for the company to privately construct its structures and operate the railways.

Tarcísio also highlighted the need to advance the project called “BR do Mar,” which aims to bring more competitiveness to coastal industries, allowing people to become familiar with maritime transport between Brazilian ports. The project is not consistent among retailers and representatives of this segment.

BR do Mar Project:

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.

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.

End of the worker who carries weight and does everything alone on the construction site: 6-meter robot welds, cuts, does carpentry, and prints concrete walls on the same site without changing equipment and can replace millions of workers.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

The cold does not relent in the Center-South, and new cold air masses advancing between Thursday and Saturday will keep temperatures low from Rio Grande do Sul to Espírito Santo, reaching part of the Northeast, without affecting the Center-West and North of the country.

Conflict in Iran disrupts the global exchange, affects the real, and shows why the rise in oil prices can become an advantage for some and a headache for others.

A compact hatchback that can travel over 1,000 km between charges and a full tank is BYD’s new bet to target European superminis like the Polo and Clio, the Dolphin G plug-in hybrid, the first car from the Chinese brand made specifically for outside China.
