Description

Supply of the steel structures for the walkway, viewpoint, and elevator of Cascata do Avencal, in Urubici/SC, with more than 26 metric tons of steel. The complex comprises a panoramic elevator more than 100 m high, a viewpoint 23.40 m in total length and 7.25 m in diameter, an access walkway 263 m long, and six circular rest landings, each 5 m in diameter, in a solution that integrates engineering and the natural landscape.

Challenges

The project presented significant challenges in engineering, design, fabrication, logistics, and erection, requiring detailed studies to ensure safety, stability, and structural performance in a highly complex environment. Access restrictions and rugged topography made transport logistics one of the project’s most critical points, as large components had to be conveyed to hard-to-reach locations. Erection, in turn, required meticulous planning, specialized equipment, and strict execution control to ensure the precise positioning and alignment of the structure along the walkway and the circular landings. Beyond technical robustness, the project had to harmonize with the landscape, preserving the natural characteristics of the surroundings and offering visitors a unique experience.
