served ndash the young Norberto Odebrecht upheld the
practice meeting with the foremen and workers at the

listen to those he led and reflect on what went right and
wrong while at the same time sharing the knowledge
acquired during the workday This practice backed by
strong values and moral principles helped consolidate
the Odebrecht Entrepreneurial Technology (TEO) over
the following decades

served ndash the young Norberto Odebrecht upheld the
practice meeting with the foremen and workers at the
construction sites The conversation was a moment to
listen to those he led and reflect on what went right and
wrong while at the same time sharing the knowledge
acquired during the workday This practice backed by
strong values and moral principles helped consolidate
the Odebrecht Entrepreneurial Technology (TEO) over
the following decades
Amorim responsible for
Administration and Finances at

be held every two months ldquoIt
is very important to receive the
support of these colleagues
with rich histories marked by

since the experiences lived and
shared by them will help our
Members put the Odebrecht
Entrepreneurial Technology
(TEO) into practice during the

education that prepared him to serve ndash instead of being
served ndash the young Norberto Odebrecht upheld the
practice meeting with the foremen and workers at the
construction sites The conversation was a moment to
listen to those he led and reflect on what went right and
wrong while at the same time sharing the knowledge
acquired during the workday This practice backed by
strong values and moral principles helped consolidate
the Odebrecht Entrepreneurial Technology (TEO) over
the following decades
Amorim responsible for

Members put the Odebrecht
Entrepreneurial Technology
(TEO) into practice during the

With complex logistics
that demanded the use of a
helicopter with an external
cargo capacity of 5 tons 23
towers were installed along the
express stretch of the Mariche
Metrocable currently being
built by Odebrecht Venezuela
for CA Metro de Caracas The
operation completes the total of
32 towers necessary to finalize
the first phase of the project
The helicopter allowed for the
transfer of the structures from
the Mariche construction site
to the installation site of each
one of these generally found
in hard-to-access areas due to
the mountain topography and
the high population density
The installation of each tower
took 30 minutes a short period
compared to the three weeks
that would be necessary to place
them with a crane
The Mariche MetroCable
cable car system consists of
two stretches the local one
which extends 484 km and the
express one which extends 479

education that prepared him to serve ndash instead of being
served ndash the young Norberto Odebrecht upheld the
practice meeting with the foremen and workers at the
construction sites The conversation was a moment to
listen to those he led and reflect on what went right and
wrong while at the same time sharing the knowledge
acquired during the workday This practice backed by
strong values and moral principles helped consolidate
the Odebrecht Entrepreneurial Technology (TEO) over
the following decades
Amorim responsible for
Administration and Finances at

is very important to receive the
support of these colleagues

the mountain topography and
the high population density
The installation of each tower
