Itajaí working round the clock on reconstruction

16 years ago

The TSCC Consortium, in charge of the reconstruction works of the Port of Itajaí, has laid out a new plan to speed up the completion of works on berths 01 and 02, severely damaged by the floods of November 2008.

The port authority said TSCC, formed by Triunfo, Serveng, Civilsan and Constremac companies, will be working around the clock to meet the deadline set by the Special Secretariat of Ports for the completion of berth 01 by the end of May, and berth 02, by late July 2010.

“Speeding up the process will greatly offset previous unexpected slowdowns caused by adverse weather and waterway conditions”, said José Ricardo Ruschel dos Santos, the deputy special representative of the Ports Secretariat.
