Short description │
Shoring Structure for a Cement Transportation System
In this project an exceptional structure was used: a 40 m-high tubular tower, 48 mm diameter posts,
diagonals and bars, stiffened by spatial tubular trusses with the diameter of 48 mm coupled with the
towers by braces; composed of eight stayed cables with the diameter of 12.7 mm.
Scia Engineer was the best solution found to attend to our focus: scaffolding structures connected
with infrastructure and industrial projects. The main benefit was accurate results and fast and easy
modelling. Scia Engineer ensured a new level of quality and precision of scaffolding projects, which
allowed for efficient and cheaper projects.

In 1969, the engineer João Ricardo Mendes returned from France to revolutionise the way to design
and build tubular structures. The engineering concepts acquired during the years of study, combined
with work experience in the largest company in the French sector, were essential to transform his office
into one of the most respected companies in the industry.
Founded in Recife in October 1969, Estub was a pioneer in the development of tubular structures. In
1975 a partnership with Entrepose started that lasted about 12 years and allowed to bring to Brazil a bit
of European technology, which has been carefully adapted to the reality of the internal market.
Through large projects such as subways, dams and bridges, the brand could be consolidated by
demonstrating technical and executive competence.
