Infrastructure safety services to REN
in prior years, broken down between
A1 and AEDL (Douro Litoral Motorway), 366.5 km were added through additional services provided to Brisa. The increase in the volume of work awarded in
2019 thus translated into an internal reinforcement of human and mechanical resources, with the company making equipment purchases that reinforced the capacity and productivity of the teams providing this type of services.
REN
Following the rendering of services
to REN, the company responsible
for the overall management of the National Electricity System and of
the National Natural Gas System in Portugal, Vibeiras provides services aimed at ensuring the safety conditions of electricity and gas transmission infrastructure, as well as compliance with the legislation in force on forest fire protection. In this context, Vibeiras is responsible for 174 km of gas pipelines
and 1,990 km of very-high-voltage power lines in the districts of Beja, Évora, Faro, Portalegre, Santarém and Setúbal.
Among other activities, until November 2022 there are plans to contact 5,370 owners, set up 120 compensation processes, manage fuel, manage 3,630 ha of easement corridors for power lines and 150 ha of easement corridors for
gas pipelines, and convert 90 ha of land under power lines, with forest species that enable the landowner to profit from the land without jeopardising the safety of people or goods.
The contract also provides for the creation of a Prevention and Surveillance Team, with a vehicle equipped for first intervention in fighting forest fires, which should be on standby duty to support REN’s dispatch and operation centres,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week (including weekends and public holidays).
