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
main challenge lies beyond the construction
site Surrounded by the community of Ilha da

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

It is estimated that the construction work for
the tunnel will be completely finished by the end
of September of this year

Leadership is constructed
continuously through
investments in technology
and innovation in order to
better serve people
According to Jorge Soto
Sustainable Development
Director the topic of the
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

represents a public
commitment to Sustainable
Development and was
delivered to the Brazilian
40 odebrechtnoticiascombr no 285 june 2012

The initiative emerged
from the understanding
that companies and
organizations are part of
the solution when it comes
to promoting a green and
inclusive economy It further
recognizes that Brazil stands
out as a possible power
in this economy due to
its natural resources and
climate conditions Based
on such statements the
commitment was signed
with aims of increasing the
business contribution to the
promotion of sustainable
development with the
successive integration of
sustainability in the daily
processes and business
strategies of each signing
company
ldquoWe want to be
recognized by society
for bringing innovative
solutions that represent
real impacts in terms of
the efficient use of natural
resources (such as water
and energy) the reduction
in the intensity of carbon
emissions the promotion
of human rights and social
inclusionrdquo states one of the
