Vale Updates on Barão de Cocais Dam in Brazil

On Friday (22/3), Vale launched the protocol to initiate level 3 of the Mining Dams Emergency Action Plan (PAEBM) for the Sul Superior Dam at the Gongo Soco mine, in Barão de Cocais (MG), Brazil.

This preventive measure is necessary in view of the fact that the independent auditor has informed that the dam's stability is in a critical condition. The level 3 warning siren that covers the Self-Rescue Zone (ZAS) was activated to reinforce of the preventive measure, since evacuation of the area near the dam was performed on February 8.

Vale reiterates that it continues to adopt a series of preventive measures to increase the safety condition of its dams.

It is important to remember that the Superior Sul Dam is one of the ten remaining inactive dams of Vale and is part of the de-characterization plan announced by the company.

Milestone for hard Rock Tunnelling: Final double Breakthrough Follo Line in Norway

The construction of Norway's longest railway tunnel marked a breakthrough for the use of tunnel boring machines in hard rock tunnelling. In Scandinavia long rail tunnels have hitherto been drilled and blasted rather than bored. In the Follo Line Project, the tunnel boring machines made a convincing case for themselves all the way through the extremely hard Norwegian rock. Four tunnel boring machines (TBMs) by Herrenknecht worked simultaneously to excavate the main part of two 20-kilometer railway tunnels between Oslo and Ski. On February 26, 2019, the final double breakthrough of the Double Shield TBMs 'Anna' and 'Magda' successfully completed the challenging mission and drew a spectacular close.
