Hill International Supports Casa dos Ventos in Harnessing Brazil’s Wind
05 March 2020 - 11:00PM
Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing
construction risk, announced today that it has been selected by
Casa dos Ventos to provide owner’s engineering and construction
management services for the construction of two wind farms: Rio do
Vento Phase 2 and Babilônia Sul.
“We consider ourselves privileged to be
participating in these two ventures led by Casa dos Ventos,” says
Hill Country Manager for Brazil Leonardas Mitrulis. “Our
involvement in the owner’s engineering ventures will help to ensure
that the projects’ deadlines, costs, and quality are carefully
controlled according to the expectations of the client. In the
pre-construction phase, beginning in the third quarter of 2020,
we’ll manage the bidding process for civil and electromechanical
packages. Then construction will begin in February 2021.”
Rio do Vento Phase 2 will be located in the
state of Rio Grande do Norte, where Hill already supports Casa dos
Ventos with another wind farm that is currently under construction.
The total investment for Rio do Vento Phase 2 will be approximately
US$600 million and it will have an installed capacity of about 500
MW. Casa dos Ventos will also build a collector substation of 34.5
kV/500 kV and 24 km of transmission lines. Operations at this wind
farm are expected to begin in December 2022.
Babilônia Sul will be located in the
municipalities of Morro do Chapéu and Várzea Nova in Bahia. This
US$420 million wind farm will have an installed capacity of about
400 MW. Babilônia Sul will include a collector substation of 34.5
kV/230 kV and 31 km of transmission lines. Operations are expected
to begin in June 2023.
Hill Chief Executive Officer Raouf Ghali says:
“Our team in Brazil has been working on behalf of Casa dos Ventos
since 2012 to assist them in the delivery of their wind farms. In
addition to gaining valuable experience in this renewable energy
sector, which is sure to continue growing in the future, our
professionals have clearly demonstrated Hill’s value on such
projects. In fact, there is no stronger testament to Hill’s value
than the extension of a partnership with an existing client. We
look forward to seeing these projects through completion,
supporting our client’s goals, and maintaining our own rightful
place as a major player in Brazil’s renewable energy sector.”
