Work of the Belo Monte attracts workers from all over the country

The work of the hydroelectric plant of Belo Monte, Pará, already attracts workers from all regions of the country. Despite the migration to the region in search of work, the company that built the plant says the priority is to use the manpower in the region.

InfrastructureThe main difficulty, says North Energy is the infrastructure. "It's a war operation," says director of construction, Luiz Fernando Rufato.
Before the plant is necessary to build three barracks where, in the coming years will live 20 000 workers. You also need to be able to transport equipment and heavy machinery by Trans. The main access to the region looks more like a rally track.
"If you do not have the road ready here in the dry season, you can not travel on it in the rain. You then having no access, no problem of supply of all fuel, food, machine, "says Rufato.
Belo Monte will be built 260 km of roads. The first part of the work is cut down with machetes and sickles and then enter the machines. The roads will allow the passage of trucks and equipment for construction sites.
In command of the workers, Cicero Lucena feel at home. He came to Ceará Pará 40 years ago to open the highway Trans. "I'm not afraid of anything. That's why I came. "

Those who can not escape are rescued and released in a safe place. In two and a half months already saved 1,200 animals in the region.
In addition to wildlife preservation, archaeologists look for traces of indigenous people who lived in the region for over a thousand years. The work is also a requirement of the Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage (Iphan).
"I've always lived a lot of people here on Amazon and in a sustainable manner. They must have some lesson to teach us, "says archaeologist Rodrigo Lavina.
