Amtore has developed projects for automation infrastructure in several hydroelectric plants in Brazil and abroad, working for the largest construction companies in this area during the period from 2005 to 2011 where we developed projects for Picada HPP, Pinalito HPP, Dardanelles HPP, Baba HPP, among others.
In addition to our experience with hydroelectric plants, we also install PLCs, control cables and data networks for interconnection of control panels in various systems, such as:
Exhaust Pumps, Escalators, Elevators, Exhaust Fans and Industrial Fans, etc.
Line 1 SCADA System
Subway Rio de Janeiro
In 2013, the Rio Subway and Schneider Electric, with Amtore as subcontractor, signed a contract for the supply and installation of a new Automation System for Line 1. This system was intended to allow the Operational Control Center to monitor and control elements of the Auxiliary Systems of the stations, such as:
Fans, Exhaust Pumps, Exhaust Fans, Escalators and Moving Walkways, etc.
To this end, Amtore executed the installation of Cables and Panels of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system at the stations on Line 1 of the Rio de Janeiro Subway. With the use of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), mounted on racks in the General Command Rooms of each station and performing the launch and interconnection of control cables between the electrical panels of the main systems and the input and output interfaces (I/O) of the PLCs.

Baba Hydroelectric Project
Ecuador
In 2008, Construtora Norberto Odebrecht (CNO) provided consulting services to the Ecuadorian government on the design and construction of a hydroelectric complex located near the Ecuadorian city of Santo Domingo de Los Colorados. Due to the good performance in services provided by Amtore for other hydroelectric projects linked to CNO, we were awarded a contract for the development of communication solutions for this new project, which included the elaboration of the Basic Project and Technical Specifications of the Communication System and Access Network for the Telemetry and Security Services that are part of the facilities of the Hydroelectric Power Plant and the Baba Multipurpose Project Dam.

Dardanelos Hydroelectric Project
Brasil
In 2007, CHESF, a participant in the Neoenergia consortium, needed to start the project of the new 261MW Dardanelles Hydroelectric Power Plant, located in the state of Mato Grosso.
Having successfully carried out the telecommunications projects for the Pinalito Hydroelectric Power Plant, Amtore was awarded the contract for the elaboration of the Basic Project and Technical Specifications of the Communication System and the Access Network for the Telemetry and Security services, which are part of the facilities of the Hydroelectric Power Plant, the Dam and Transmission Lines that would serve Dardanelos Hydroelectric Plant.

Communication Networks
Pinalito Hydroelectric Power Plant – Dominican Republic
In 2006, Construtora Norberto Odebrecht (CNO) needed to develop specific projects that would enable the collection of meteorological data, pressure and flow, in addition to allowing for Communication and Telemetry of the Pinalito Hydroelectric Power Plant systems, located in the Cordillera Central in the Dominican Republic.
Because it is an inhospitable region, embedded in the mountains with altitudes that exceed 3,000 meters above sea level, the Pinalito Project was a challenge for any telecommunications solution. Using creativity and with the meager resources of the existing infrastructure in that region, Amtore developed an intricate communication network with the use of digital radios in the VHF and UHF frequencies, which allowed access to equipment arranged in several points with difficult access to the Cordillera.
The Basic Design and Technical Specifications of the Communication System and the Access Network to Telemetry and Security Services were elaborated, which are part of the Facilities of the Hydroelectric Power Plant, the Dam and Transmission Lines; the set up of Interfaces between the new Hydroelectric Plant and the Existing Systems for Atmospheric Monitoring and Surveillance, with Data Collection in the various Meteorological Stations in the surrounding area of the complex.

Picada Hydroelectric Project
Juiz de Fora
In 2005, using optical and wireless solutions, Amtore elaborated the Projects for the Communication Systems and the Access Network to the Telemetry and Security Services for the Power Plant, Dam, Substation and Transmission Lines, having developed the following activities:
• Calculation of Dimensioning of the Digital Links
• Executive project of the CCTV System
• Executive project of the Fixed Telephony System
• Executive project of the Mobile Telephony System
• Executive project of Local Network and Corporate Network
• Executive project of Fiber Optic Network
• Executive project of Wireless Network
The Picada Hydroelectric Power Plant, located in Monte Verde – MG, has a capacity to generate 50MW of energy, being classified as a SHP (Small Hydroelectric Power Plant). This was the first Project of this type in which Amtore participated in the conceptual elaboration of the System, in addition to participating directly in its implementation.
