Slow Movement, But Carefully Planned

The Company CGT Brasil Is Transporting The Transformer, Which Was Manufactured By China With A Length Of 11.2 Meters, Width Of 4.2 Meters, And Height Of 4.5 Meters.

To Enable This Complex Operation, The Company Set Up A Structure With Three Trucks, Two Semi-Trailers, 12 PRF Vehicles, And Eight Motorcycles.

Thus, The Convoy Reaches A Length Of 113.7 Meters And A Total Weight Of 600 Tons.

Additionally, The Movement Is Occurring At An Average Speed Of 7 Km/h, Just To Ensure Safety During The Journey.

Therefore, Due To Traffic Issues, The Operation Primarily Takes Place At Night And In The Early Hours.

However, The Passage Through The Southwestern Beltway Of Campina Grande Will Take Place During The Day, As The Stretch Is Undergoing Construction And Requires Extra Care.

The Wind Farm Represents A Robust Investment And Large-Scale Supply

According To G1, The Serra Da Palmeira Wind Farm Is Being Constructed In The Region Of Seridó Paraibano. It Will Cover The Municipalities Of Picuí, Nova Palmeira, Pedra Lavrada, São Vicente Do Seridó, And Baraúna.

In Addition, The Complex Will Feature 108 Wind Turbines And Offer An Installed Capacity Of 648 MW, Enough To Supply Up To 1.7 Million People.

The Company Began The Works In October 2023 And Is Following The Expected Schedule To Complete Them In 2025.

Additionally, It Reported That It Intends To Transport A Second Transformer With The Same Characteristics In April. However, The Exact Date For The Operation Has Not Yet Been Defined.

Energy With Local Destination And National Impact

According To The Director Of CGT Brasil, Lucas Cardoso Sanchez, In An Interview With TV Cabo Branco, The Park Will Provide About 40% Of The Energy Demand Of Paraíba.

Moreover, The Excess Energy Will Be Sent To The National Interconnected System (SIN). This Will Directly Contribute To Energy Stability In Various Regions Of Brazil.

The Connection Between The Park’s Substation And The Chesf Substation, Located In Campina Grande, Will Be Made Through A Dedicated Transmission Line.

This Way, The System Will Ensure Energy Efficiency, Minimizing Losses And Expanding The Integration Of Clean Energy Into The National Matrix.

Safety And Caution Along The Route

The PRF, As Highlighted By G1, Emphasized The Importance Of Following Safety Protocols During The Journey.

Therefore, It Advises Drivers And Residents To Avoid Approaching The Moving Convoy.

In Addition, The Corporation Recommends That Vehicles Not Be Parked On The Shoulder Of BR-230, Under Penalty Of Fines Or Seizure.

According To G1, The Operation Started On 03/15, With Departure From Km 94 Of BR-101, In Cabo De Santo Agostinho (PE).

On 03/17, The Transformer Crossed The Border With Paraíba Around 4:30 PM.

Finally, The Equipment’s Final Destination Is The Municipality Of Nova Palmeira, Where It Will Be Installed As Part Of The Wind Farm’s Infrastructure.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Scientists find in pigeons’ livers a possible “biological compass” capable of explaining how birds follow invisible routes through the Earth’s magnetic field.

US proposes extra tariff on Brazil for “forced labor” and raises alert about new commercial pressure against Brazilian exports

How remains of a 17th-century ship found in Finland turned into dresses: wood from the Hahtiperä shipwreck, buried for over 300 years, was transformed into textile fiber by Ioncell technology.

World Cup paintings can result in fines and even legal action in some cities, but many people still ignore this rule before the tournament.

Fishermen find a rare 127 kg substance inside a whale in Yemen, sell the “whale vomit” for $1.5 million, and become millionaires with the find in the Gulf of Aden.
