BRT Belém bid win published in the Federal Register

Odebrecht Engineering & Construction has won the international public bid for the construction of a Trunk Bus System in the Metropolitan Region of Belém (BRT), Pará, which was confirmed by a publication in the Federal Register this week.  The 10.8 km-long public transportation system, which will serve around 1 million people, will run through the cities surrounding BR-316 highway: Belém, Benevides, Santa Bárbara do Pará, Santa Izabel do Pará, Ananindeua and Marituba. Construction work should start in 60 days.

The result of the bid was published on August 20 in the Federal Register and on August 21, in the State Register of Pará.

“This project represents the consolidation of OEC’s new growth recovery cycle through the strengthening of key cultural values and practices in our compliance system established in 2017. The works will be conducted by a young team but which has vast engineering experience, with technical and managerial consistency to generate sustainable wealth for our Group and the community in which it will operate,” said André Alves Araújo, CM of BRT Belém.

The confirmation of BRT Belém marks the second public bid won by Odebrecht Engineering & Construction this year. The first was in March, with OEC confirmed for the transformation works of the Santa Cruz Thermoelectric Plant in Rio de Janeiro.
