Dear Reader
On October 8 the city of Porto Alegre celebrated the inauguration
of the Grêmio Arena. In fact, the whole of Brazil focused its
attention to see the first multipurpose arena of the country.
The magnificent feast, with its spectacle of dance, music and fireworks,
closed the night with the home team’s victory of 2 to 1 over German team
Hamburg. See our front page article to read about the success of this OAS
venture, which is the first of this new business concept that transforms old
stadiums into spaces for events, shows, conventions and other activities.
Also in this edition, learn that Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s most famous
city, is about to rewrite a new chapter in its history and the narrative is to
be made by OAS, in charge of the construction works in progress at Porto
Maravilha, which will illustrate the city’s new postcard.
OAS will also be marking its presence in Rio with the construction works
that will provide commodity and comfort throughout the infrastructure
to host the 2016 Olympic Games. The urban interventions made by the
company and the improvements the people of Rio will receive after the
sports event are detailed in a special report.
With its vast broad business experience and perspective, OAS knows
the importance of the investment on infrastructure to Brazil, and to raise
its focus on the sector, OAS Investments continues in its projects and
operations.
The “Our People” section brings the profile of Ronaldo de Meneses
Midlej, with the company for 30 years, and who has an exemplary story
that fills us with pride. OAS is also proud and thrilled to have been the
construction company to build the great architectural designs of Oscar
Niemeyer who, with all of his talent and craftiness, challenged our
engineers. The poet of the curves passed away on December 5th. Go to
page 24 to see the buildings we erected in partnership with the master
architect. This edition also brings construction innovations and solutions
that are part of the company’s day to day.
We are wrapping up 2012 with many achievements, projects and
contracts for the next years. As in our constructions, we work from stage
to stage; therefore, let us experience 2013 intensely, consolidating our
dreams and finding more challenges.
Happy New Year!
Enjoy your reading.

Works that enter history
The first project obtained by OAS in Peru was the Huascacocha-Rímac Derivación (water intake & transport system for
supply of the city of Lima), very special due to marking the company’s entry into the country and also due to its importance
to Peru. “It is guarantee of water supply for many years”, states Valfrêdo Ribeiro Filho.
Although Peru has water in abundance (close to 5% of the world’s freshwater reserves), notes Ribeiro, its capital is located
in a desert region, where there is simply no rain. Therefore, it has no natural water to supply its population of approximately 8
million people, today supplied by waters from the Andean basin, fruit mainly of defrosting, which flows out into three small
rivers that cut the Peruvian capital.
The company built a 14-meter high dam to increase the storage capacity of the water from the defrost captured by the
Huascacocha lake in the region of Junín, located in the remote region of the Andean Cordillera, at an altitude of almost 5
thousand meters. The Huascacocha project also includes construction of a water transport structure of almost 30 kilometers,
with channels, tunnels and siphons to make the water get as closer to Lima, in addition to an electric transmission line of 45
kilometers to supply the Pumping Station. It is a concession of 20 years to OAS, which has been in operation phase since
June 2012.
