As it has been doing for 47 years, the International Board of Civil Consultants met in November 2022 to assess the safety conditions of the Itaipu plant. Engineer Marco Juliani, director of IEME Brasil, has been participating in these meetings as a consultant and, in this 23rd edition, presented the Stretch E Studies – Simulations by MEF.
The Board of Civil Consultants – created in 1975, the year in which Itaipu began to be built – is a group formed by recognized specialists in the engineering of large dams, from different countries, who meet periodically to carry out technical inspections, analyze the data issued by the plant’s professionals and assess the dam’s safety level. These inspections were frequent during the construction period, becoming every four years after completion.
The latest news is excellent. “It is very good to know that Itaipu is in good health and will continue to be so for many years”, said Itaipu’s technical director, David Krug, when thanking the Board for its collaboration.
