With the theme ‘Geotechnics in the Amazon,’ the largest gathering on the subject in the Northern Region will take place in the city of Palmas (TO – Brazil) from November 7 to 9, 2023, and will bring together prominent national figures on the topic. The congress aims to facilitate the exchange of experiences, the sharing of knowledge, and the opportunity for networking among participants.
Tuper will be present throughout the three-day event to showcase Fast-Connection Tubular Piles, which use an innovative concept of joints that eliminates the need for welding. On November 8, along with other sponsoring companies, there will be a presentation covering all of Tuper’s steel solutions for this market.
About Geonorte
Organized by the Brazilian Association of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ABMS), an entity to which Tuper is affiliated, the event will feature lectures on topics relevant to the region, presentations of technologies and trends in geotechnical project design, construction, and maintenance, as well as mini-courses to educate professionals and students interested in the strategic aspects of development in the Northern Region. Additionally, the launch of the book ‘Geotechnics in the Amazon’ is scheduled, which will compile articles on the subject to disseminate applied knowledge in research, projects, solutions, and specific works in the Northern Region of Brazil. The target audience for the congress includes the technical community and professionals involved in projects and works related to foundations, infrastructure, urban mobility, and construction, as well as in the fields of energy, mining, sanitation, and others.
Tuper brings Fast-Connection Tubular Piles to the congress
Tuper’s participation will include Roger Meros Müldenberger, regional sales manager, and Inácio Kotovicz, product application engineer, who will deliver a presentation to address the technical characteristics, advantages, and applications of the solution developed by the company. According to Inácio, it is a strategic moment to promote the product and establish contacts in a region with immense development potential.
Regarding the product, it is noted that ‘the fast connection was designed primarily to meet a market need – the simplification of the jointing process in steel piles. It caters to different diameters and thicknesses based on the load and geotechnical characteristics of each project. In summary, the application is practical, secure, can increase execution speed by up to 100%, and when combined with concrete, allows the solution’s cost to be intermediate compared to piles executed solely with concrete or steel. Thus, it is possible to maintain the advantages of steel piles while optimizing the time when used with Tuper’s Fast Connections.‘
With great potential for application in works of various types and sizes, from bridges, heavy industrial facilities, distribution centers to commercial and residential buildings, Tuper’s Fast-Connection Tubular Piles stand out, especially for their high structural and geotechnical load capacity, high execution speed – even in rainy weather as they do not require welding, and applicability to a wide range of soil types.
