Sobratema completes 29 years of a well-succeeded path

To spread knowledge, information and new technologies, Sobratema carried out in June the Week of Integrated Technologies for Construction, Environment and Equipment. This unique initiative highlighted three relevant subjects for the Brazilian society: human motion for harmonic coexistence between pedestrians, bycicle riders, handicapped persons and vehicles; environmental sustainability as priority in all activities of the economy; and the investments in construction for job retaking and for a new cycle of growth. 

The Week of Integrated Technologies included the BW Expo 2017 – Trade Show of Services and Technologies for Sustainable Management of Water, Surplus Materials, Air and Energy; the Construction Expo 2017 – International Trade Show of Building and Infrastructure Works – Services, Materials and Equipment; the M&T Parts and Services 2017 – Trade Show and Congress of Technology and Management of Equipment for Construction and Mining; and also the Sobratema Summit 2017, the largest event of content from these areas in the whole country.

The event—that had as its main subject New practices of maintenance in the current scenario—gathered engineers, professionals, technicians and experts that work with equipment. With a different format, it was composed by three lectures given by maintenance experts and a debating panel with the participation of six representatives of different areas that use equipment: construction, mining, rental, transport, sand and gravel (quarries), and load lifting and handling.
