(TEO) into practice during the

(TEO) into practice during 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

Members put the Odebrecht

Entrepreneurial Technology

(TEO) into practice during the

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

(TEO) into practice during the

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

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

ORIGINS

Emiacutelio Odebrecht [1894-1962] the first member

of the family to study engineering and the father of

his foremen over the weekends for study sessions

at fireside Based on his fatherrsquos example and an

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

SANEATINS the meetings will

be held every two months ldquoIt

is very important to receive the

support of these colleagues

with rich histories marked by

accomplishments and learning

since the experiences lived and

shared by them will help our

Members put the Odebrecht

Entrepreneurial Technology

(TEO) into practice during the

day-to-dayrdquo explained Amorim

With over 1500 Members

With complex logistics

cargo capacity of 5 tons 23

towers were installed along the

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

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

SANEATINS the meetings will

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

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
