All ASME requirements were met and demonstrated with great success, ensuring another certification period for the company.

“This certification represents a notorious technical differential for the company, demonstrating our search for excellence in Engineering and Construction, and OECI is pioneering in ASME’s Seal A in power boiler assembly in Brazil. ASME standards and certifications are widely requested in the international market, being required by law in most American states and lately has also become a requirement in our domestic market, as the case with the UTE Santa Cruz project”, says Fernando Toledo, responsible for the OEC’s Corporate Quality Management.

Later, it was required in the Cogeneración Timbues project in Argentina and is currently being essential to meet the requirements of the UTE Santa Cruz contract in Brazil.
