Creating smart infrastructure with 4D technology

Today you make it through many huge projects. As a civil engineer in Salom constructionin Belo HorizonteBrazil, which leads high -impact infrastructure developments.

Salum specializes in building roads, railways, sewage systems, containment structures, and the process of removing dams from iron ore residue – the process of redesigning the huge dirt structures designed to store huge amounts of waste that remains after treating iron ore. Her projects include complex challenges that require accuracy, lightness and insight.

As you see Delci, it is not just an infrastructure building; It builds a more intelligent and safer future.

It was high this year to A great member of IEEEA professional teacher who admits its influence on its field.

“To become a great member, she reaffirmed that the path I have chosen – to mix technology with infrastructure – can really lead to a meaningful change,” she says.

Childhood dream is formed

Delsey was born in iTabiritoA small Brazilian town located in the mountains. Her father, the owner of the furniture store, and her mother, the craftsman, planted in her love to learn and allowed her to be freedom in the big dream.

In 2012 she joined Billo Huraizanti University Center (UNIBH) to study civil engineering. Delci has chosen what you call the “Bachelor Sandwich” – an arrangement in which students start their studies at their selected local university, complete part of the courses at a university abroad, then return to their home institution to end the certificate.

In 2014 she received a full scholarship by Federal Brazil Science without limits Grant Program. The tuition fees, housing, health insurance, educational materials and aviation were covered.

“I believed that the international academic experience would expand my point of view and greatly enhance my education,” says Delice. But she added, she had to learn a new language to continue her studies. First I took intensive English courses in Joseph Josephos CollegeIn Baja, Hungary. Then I completed two semesters of civil engineering courses, taught in English, in Budapest University of Technology and Economics. From May to July 2015, trained in Budapest WaterworksCity benefit. It worked in the three main departments of the company: engineering, project management and water treatment.

Delci returned to Unibh in the second semester of 2015 and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering in 2017. In the same year, she obtained a technical diploma in civil construction operations from Minas Gerais State Industries FederationBello Horizte. In 2021 she obtained a postgraduate certificate in project management from The Papabolic Catholic University of Minas GeraisAlso in Belo Horizte.

Technology behind the Earth’s engine

Her ambition led her to obtain practical technical training early. In 2012, during her first work in UNIBH, she was trained in Delphi Car systems do Brazil, in Itaberito, Minas Girais. The role gave practical experience in maintaining the infrastructure of the industrial factory, including preparing purchase requests and work orders, as well as monitoring the amendments to the factory planning, they say.

She joined Salum Construções in 2020 as a trained engineer. I worked on treating rocky piles in omen Farjam Grande complex In Minas Gerais, part of Brazil “Quadruple“The site is one of the many Vale owned, the world’s leading product for Iron Ore.

“I want to continue working on sustainable solutions, directing young engineers, and influencing politics to make the industry environmentally responsible.”

This initiative was part of the wider Vale efforts to reduce dependence on waste dams – the EETHEN structures that were designed to contain secondary waste products to process crude – especially after Brazil Bremindeho Dam disaster In 2019. More than 200 employees and contractors were killed in Vale when he was blocked in the company Bean in Bromingho It collapsed, and issued a 10 -meter tide wave containing more From 11 million cubic meters From toxic raw waste.

Delci has been appointed to the WASTE ROCK Remediation project, to ensure the compliance of the rock pile of new government standards for the environment and safety that was implemented after the Brumadinho disaster. Among the methods that she and her team tried are dry stacking, where magic rocks are filtered from waste and deposited in piles instead of leaving them in the form of sludge.

“More studies and environmental licensing for a widely implemented,” she says.

Today, she is a civil engineer in Salom. As part of the corporate engineering team, it supervises many large -scale projects.

Advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, is used 4D building information building. BIM, digital building planning method, used 3D modeling To connect each component of buildings – including dirt works, drainage systems and pavement layers – with the construction table, over time the fourth dimension. This project makes the entire project more predictive by allowing the teams to anticipate and reduce the risks before affecting the table. Its work also focuses on borrowed principles of lean industrialization that emphasizes the reduction of waste.

She says her approach and knowledge caught the attention of her peers in construction and construction industry in general.

“I have always been enthusiastic about digital engineering and how it could help reduce costs, save time, and improve safety,” she says. “It is not only about completing the work. It is more intelligent and more sustainable.”

It also helps to reshape a male dominated field.

“The heavy civil construction did not scare me,” she says. “I wanted to make it clear that engineering talent has no sex. There is space for women to lead here, and we claim it.”

Ha research It was published in Scientific magazine methodologythe Brazilian Journal of DevelopmentAnd other magazines. I got a recognition of pioneering initiatives that use digital technology to improve construction on a large scale. One of the main indicators of this recognition is a wide quote for its research by experts. For example, the monitoring of its digital articles of heavy equipment … “and” the effectiveness of the last plan system … “66 and 56 times, respectively, was cited, according to the scientific researcher from Google. In academic circles, this level of quote is an exceptional honor, which indicates that its work is a founding and influential contribution to the progress of knowledge in its field.

IEEE feature

I heard Delci about IEEE through colleagues who praised her global network of members and technical resources. She says she has joined her knowledge, cooperation with creators, and to remain in the forefront of technological trends.

Today, it works as a volunteer reference for many IEEE technical committees and the applications of the higher members, with the good return to the institution that helped raise its career.

“IEEE has made it clear that engineering is not only local – it’s universal,” she says. “It is a community of people who believe in building something better, together.”

Focus on sustainable solutions

When asked about her long -term goals, Morae does not hesitate. “I want to continue working on sustainable solutions, directing young engineers, and influencing politics,” to make the industry environmentally responsibility, “she says.

Its advice to students who think about engineering? “If you are curious and want to solve real problems, engineering is yours,” she says. “Do not let stereotypes determine your way. We need all kinds of minds to build a better world.”

“Engineering is how to leave our mark on the world,” she says. “I intend to make the number of mines.”
