Ternium Steel Complex in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Receives Millions of Dollars Every Year in Infrastructure and Environmental Investments

Ternium invested, from July of last year to June of this year, US$ 80 million in infrastructure and the environment of the Atlantic Steel Company (CSA) industrial plant in Santa Cruz, western zone of Rio de Janeiro.
The steel mill was purchased from ThyssenKrupp in 2017 and when acquired, its production capacity was around 4.5 million tons; today it stands at 4.7 million steel plates, thanks to the investments made.

The company’s annual investment expectation for the next period at the plant in the state of Rio de Janeiro is expected to be close to US$ 100 million, and three companies from Minas Gerais are absorbing these projects: Usiminas Mecânica, Convaço, and Emalto.
According to Ternium’s general manager in Brazil, Fernando Caracoche, the total installed capacity of the plant reaches 5 million tons, but it intends to increase these numbers in the medium term, depending on the rise in international market demand.

Regarding the investments and execution by Usiminas Mecânica, the production shutdown is scheduled to begin this week and is expected to last eighteen days.
The scope of Usiminas Mecânica involves the restoration of the Electrostatic Precipitator, which aims to improve gas emission levels into the atmosphere.

Regarding Convaço from Ipatinga, the company will be responsible for repair works on the sinter ignition furnace.
Emalto from Timóteo will carry out the construction of an elevator for the blast furnaces of the plant.

Another area receiving substantial investments is the automation sector, with the purchase of 2 robots, costing US$ 6 million, which are replacing human action in high-risk activities.
These replaced employees have been relocated to supervise the activities, and this example will be spread to other plants in Mexico and Argentina.

Scope of the Contractors

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.

NR-1 obliges companies to pay attention to mental health at work and highlights the impact of abusive targets, exhausting work hours, and harassment on leaves due to psychological disorders.

First electric Ferrari emerges with five seats, unconventional design, million-dollar price, and a burning question among fans: genius or betrayal of tradition?

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 beach in the world is in Brazil and is ‘stealing’ objects: a beach up to 254 km in RS makes rings, keys, and wallets disappear in the sand before reappearing days later in a phenomenon explained by coastal dynamics.
