Whether for its grandeur, the perfect harmony between the structures, the genius of its logistics or the difficulty of building a site with huge dimensions, the fact is that the project arouses admiration. And even before such a finding, it can be said that the hardest work is not building the plant, but the realization of environmental projects, whose implementation requires more than technical knowledge, talent, discipline and persistence. The implementation of these projects, all under the responsibility of the enterprise, it is necessary to add transparency to carry them out, ability to handle contingencies, sensitivity to understand the requirements, respect for living with people and humility to recognize possible mistakes. And it is the commitment to environmental projects, which gave importance to the enterprise.
