The vertical silo located on the west side of the Port of Paranaguá wharf will be demolished. The warehouse, installed in a prime area occupying more than 2000m2, is obsolete, in disuse since 2009. Known as “Silinho” (Little Silo), the place will provide space for the expansion of the operational capacity of the port.
The work began at the end of June with the assembly of the construction site and the installation of sidings at the site. For a month, the activity continued with the dismantling and demolition of the external belt conveyors.
Also in the period, simultaneously, the cutting and removal of all metallic scrap from the silo equipment were started. This stage is expected to end in the first half of September. Subsequently, after the assembly of peripheral protections, such as trays and closing screen, the demolition of the cells and service tower that make up the silo will begin. According to the Engineering and Maintenance Directorate of Portos do Paraná, the works have an updated schedule, without delays. The demolition is expected to be fully completed in early 2022.
The company that won the bid is the FBI demolition company. The contractor was the one with the lowest value for the execution of the work, after the reduction of the value for the acquisition of equipment scrap, which was also the object of a proposal in the same event.
