The rainwater drainage system for the port strip and the vertical public silo at the Port of Paranaguá was completely readjusted. With an investment of just over R$15.4 million by Portos do Paraná, the work was carried out in five lots, with a total area of ​​almost 375,000 square meters. It is nearing completion.

The port expanded over time, explains Luiz Teixeira da Silva Júnior, Director of Operations of the public company.  New structural works were built and, at each undertaking, the drainage infrastructure was being implemented, often independently of the existing one.

“These discontinuities caused several inconveniences in the loading and unloading operations in the port area, mainly due to the excessive accumulation of water in various points of the circulation routes”, he comments.

Also according to Teixeira, with the execution of the drainage work, the port of Paranaguá will have a fully interconnected system, in accordance with sanitary and environmental standards.

“This provides conditions for the open circulation of vehicles and people passing through the port area, making operations more productive and efficient”, he completed.
