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.

Many friends, customers and partners were at stand nº B070, located at Rua B, in front of Gate 18 of São Paulo Expo – SP, where the NT-Expo was held from 02/28 to 03/2.

They are professionals and companies with whom IEME has shared many experiences and challenges, in its more than 30 years of experience in the areas of Engineering Projects (metro-railway systems, bridges, dams, stadiums and structures in general), Urban Development (land regularization, urbanization of settlements, accessibility and social work) and Laboratory Tests (LAEDE) focused on subway railways, civil structures and shock absorbing systems, elastomers, vibration, noise and construction materials.

In addition to welcoming friends and customers, our pleasant surprise was seeing everyone’s interest in the Instrumented Rodeiro and the exclusive service we offer in the use of this resource. This is because, despite being widely used in other countries, in Brazil IEME is the only company able to provide this service without the customer having to spend the large amounts necessary to obtain this instrumentation, systems and interpretation of results.

NT-Expo ended this Thursday, 2/3, but I already miss the meetings and the great exchange of experiences.

IEME Brasil has just received the INMETRO Accreditation from the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology to act as an Accredited Inspection Body (OIA) and inspect projects and engineering works prepared by public and private companies subject to inspection by regulatory bodies. In Brazil, only 13 companies – including IEME – have OIA status.

Engineer Alexandre Verski, general manager of Project Inspection at IEME, who led the company’s team in the accreditation process with INMETRO, explains that, in the concession contracts for a highway, railway or other road work to the private sector, “all engineering projects, before being executed by the concessionaire, must be approved by the agencies” and the OIA is a kind of “INMETRO representative in the inspection of projects”. Project inspection, therefore, is a mandatory contractual requirement for concessionaires.

From a marketing point of view, the INMETRO Accreditation opens a new front of services for IEME Brasil, a company with more than 30 years of experience in the areas of Engineering Projects (metro-railway systems, bridges, dams, stadiums and structures in general), Urban Development (land regularization, urbanization of settlements, accessibility and social work) and Laboratory Tests (LAEDE) focused on subway railways, civil structures and shock absorbing systems, elastomers, vibration, noise and construction materials.
