The work included in the Submarine

Development Program (PROSUB-EBN) Naval

Shipyard and Base complex involves the

construction of a 703-meter long and 15-meter

high tunnel that passes through a mountain and

connects the two sectors

The tunnel is already in the final phase of

construction On April 12 the last denotation

was completed opening the passageway

between the North and South areas

The ceremony included the presence of

representatives from the Brazilian Navy the

Itaguaiacute Construccedilotildees Navais (ICN) Consortium

the French company DCNS and Odebrecht

Infraestrutura responsible for the civil

construction work On the occasion Odebrecht

also completed the upper section of the tunnel

which measures seven meters high

In order to ensure that the tunnel reaches the

height planned in the design it was necessary to

lower it eight meters by excavating the current

floor Some 200 meters were lowered through

detonations and excavations

Seacutergio Martins the manager responsible for

the construction work said he is certain that the

main challenge lies beyond the construction

site Surrounded by the community of Ilha da

Madeira in Itaguaiacute Rio de Janeiro the tunnel

is located slightly over 100 meters from some

of the houses ldquoWe worked at night had some

underground and outdoor detonations and

blocked trafficrdquo said Martins ldquoThese types

of actions generated complaintsrdquo he said

According to him good communication and

precautions with the safety of local residents

facilitated the relationship ldquoLuckily we have

mitigated these factors in a very positive way

receiving the support of the projectrsquos Social

Responsibility teamrdquo he said

It is estimated that the construction work for

the tunnel will be completely finished by the end

of September of this year

The work included in the Submarine

Development Program (PROSUB-EBN) Naval

Shipyard and Base complex involves the

construction of a 703-meter long and 15-meter

high tunnel that passes through a mountain and

connects the two sectors

The tunnel is already in the final phase of

construction On April 12 the last denotation

was completed opening the passageway

between the North and South areas

The ceremony included the presence of

representatives from the Brazilian Navy the

Itaguaiacute Construccedilotildees Navais (ICN) Consortium

the French company DCNS and Odebrecht

Infraestrutura responsible for the civil

construction work On the occasion Odebrecht

also completed the upper section of the tunnel

which measures seven meters high

In order to ensure that the tunnel reaches the

height planned in the design it was necessary to

lower it eight meters by excavating the current

floor Some 200 meters were lowered through

detonations and excavations

Seacutergio Martins the manager responsible for

the construction work said he is certain that the

main challenge lies beyond the construction

site Surrounded by the community of Ilha da

Madeira in Itaguaiacute Rio de Janeiro the tunnel

is located slightly over 100 meters from some

of the houses ldquoWe worked at night had some

underground and outdoor detonations and

blocked trafficrdquo said Martins ldquoThese types

of actions generated complaintsrdquo he said

According to him good communication and

precautions with the safety of local residents

facilitated the relationship ldquoLuckily we have

mitigated these factors in a very positive way

receiving the support of the projectrsquos Social

Responsibility teamrdquo he said

It is estimated that the construction work for

the tunnel will be completely finished by the end

of September of this year

which measures seven meters high

In order to ensure that the tunnel reaches the

height planned in the design it was necessary to

lower it eight meters by excavating the current

floor Some 200 meters were lowered through

detonations and excavations

Seacutergio Martins the manager responsible for

the construction work said he is certain that the

The work included in the Submarine

Development Program (PROSUB-EBN) Naval

Shipyard and Base complex involves the

construction of a 703-meter long and 15-meter

high tunnel that passes through a mountain and

connects the two sectors

The tunnel is already in the final phase of

construction On April 12 the last denotation

was completed opening the passageway

between the North and South areas

The ceremony included the presence of

representatives from the Brazilian Navy the

the French company DCNS and Odebrecht

Infraestrutura responsible for the civil

construction work On the occasion Odebrecht

also completed the upper section of the tunnel

which measures seven meters high

In order to ensure that the tunnel reaches the

height planned in the design it was necessary to

lower it eight meters by excavating the current

floor Some 200 meters were lowered through

detonations and excavations

Seacutergio Martins the manager responsible for

the construction work said he is certain that the

main challenge lies beyond the construction

site Surrounded by the community of Ilha da

Madeira in Itaguaiacute Rio de Janeiro the tunnel

is located slightly over 100 meters from some

of the houses ldquoWe worked at night had some

underground and outdoor detonations and

blocked trafficrdquo said Martins ldquoThese types

of actions generated complaintsrdquo he said

According to him good communication and

precautions with the safety of local residents

facilitated the relationship ldquoLuckily we have

mitigated these factors in a very positive way

green economy at the

center of discussions during

Rio+20 demonstrated that

companies are no longer

seen as the mere causers

of environmental damages

and are now instead

recognized as part of the

solution for such issues The

topic also shows a maturity

in terms of the consideration

of the economic and social

aspects under the concept

of sustainability

ldquoThere is no way to have a

green economy without the

involvement of the business

communityrdquo said Jorge Soto

Sustainable Development

Director at Braskem ldquoAt

Braskem we are advancing

increasingly more in this

area and we believe that the

participation in business

forums in which these

practices are discussed and

shared is a good way of

moving forwardrdquo said Soto

Soto who is a member

of the Brazilian Global

Pact Committee and

the Business Council for

Sustainable Development

and BASD (international

business coalition created

specifically for Rio+20)

stated that all companies

should ask how they can

contribute toward the

advancement of sustainable

development through their

business ldquoThe response will

motivate reflections and

actions that can generate

business opportunities

whether in terms of cost

reduction the expansion

of the product portfolio

or the strengthening of

relationships while at the

same time promoting

improved economic

environmental and social

performance said Soto
