The consortium led by Sener has been awarded a contract by the concessionaire CSG to widen the roads ERS 240 y ERS 122 en Río Grande del Sur (Brasil), with the aim of modernizing the logistical connection between Porto Alegre and Sierra Gaúcha.
The engineering and technology group Sener, in partnership with the local firm Projeta Infraestrutura, will develop the third package of projects for the concession operated by CSG (Caminhos da Serra GaúchaThis award focuses on the provision of engineering services aimed at improving and expanding the capacity of critical sections on state highways. ERS 240 y ERS 122, fundamental arteries for the flow of industrial production, regional trade and tourism in the southernmost part of Brasil.
Technical scope and applied digital methodology
The contracted work encompasses everything from initial concept and functional designs to the delivery of preliminary and final construction plans. One of the key competitive advantages of this contract is the comprehensive use of the methodology. BIM (Building Information Modeling), which guarantees a digitized and efficient management of the entire infrastructure design cycle.
The planned actions entail a profound transformation of the existing road network to raise its safety and functionality standards. Key elements include:
- 50 kilometers of additional lanes to improve traffic flow.
- 64 kilometers of new shoulders and 10 kilometers intended for bike lanes.
- Installation of 142 bus stops and the suitability of 20 accesses.
- Construction of 20 roundabouts to optimize safety at intersections.
| Infrastructure Element | Quantitative Scope |
|---|---|
| Additional lanes | 50 kilometers |
| Shoulders | 64 kilometers |
| Cycle paths | 10 kilometers |
| Bus stops | 142 units |
| Roundabouts | 20 units |
| Access improvements | 20 units |
