BRASS actively participated in the Rio Pipeline Conference 2011, which was held in the city of Rio de Janeiro on September 20th -22th. In this opportunity our Assistant Manager Nara Altmann spoke on Greenhouse Gasses (GHG) and their relevance when designing pipeline engineering. Out of 320, her presentation was the only one addressing with this topic. Although our direct participation in the construction and operating field is minor, it becomes evident that the reduction of the GHG emissions occurs during the designing stage.

One of the great challenges of the 21st Century is to reduce the climate change effects produced by the Greenhouse Gasses (GHG). It is in this context that BRASS has decided to estimate its carbon footprint. Therefore, we will be able to determinate the impact generated by our activities.

Fundación Coanil and Fundación San José para la Adopción, both charitable organizations, have signed an agreement to work together and carry on their commitment to help more than 4 thousand people with mental disabilities, 5 thousand women with complicated pregnancy, 1,500 children in the process of being adopted, and 900 married couples willing to form a family.

Along with the opening of new offices, located in Av. Cerro El Plomo 5420, Las Condes, on april 21, BRASS Chile celebrated its tenth anniversary of presence in Chile.

With the presence of collaborative companies, directors, authorities, students, relatives and beneficiaries of Professor Moisés Mellado, former academician of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Science, the Foundation that bears his name celebrated its ninth anniversary.
