Vast Infraestrutura won 3rd place in the “Process Improvement” category at Cais Açu Lab, the innovation program of Porto do Açu. The awarded project repurposes concrete slabs from T-Oil for paving areas designated for the facilities of T1-contracted companies.

Developed in partnership between Vast’s Engineering team, FCC Construcción, and Ferroport, the initiative covers a total area of 7,450 m² and an estimated volume of 2,384 m³ of repurposed slabs, promoting waste reduction, material savings, and mitigation of environmental impacts.

Vast congratulates and thanks all the teams involved in this achievement, which reinforces the company’s commitment to material reuse, carbon footprint reduction, and the efficient use of natural resources.

Vast Infraestrutura, together with Criape, organized the Hackatonzinho Vast, a volunteer initiative that is part of Conectados do Bem, a project supported by the company and the Ministry of Culture’s Cultural Incentive Law.

The initiative consisted of a mini innovation program at two municipal schools in São João da Barra served by the project: the Centro Municipal de Educação Avançada (CEMEA) and the Escola Municipal Chrisanto Henrique de Souza.

Working in groups and under the mentorship of Vast’s volunteer employees, the students developed prototypes to address issues related to sustainability, communication, and integration within the school environment. The proposals were presented at the end, and the top three teams were awarded prizes.

The activity aimed to train students in problem-solving, reinforce concepts such as innovation and sustainability, and promote the involvement of Vast and its employees in the supported project.

Vast continues to expand opportunities for energy and for the communities within its area of influence.

Vast Infraestrutura’s Children’s Day celebrated a very important pillar of childhood: play. Under the theme “Energy that sails through imagination,” the event offered a series of playful activities and games for the children who visited the workplace.

There were art workshops with coloring books, eco-bag painting, painting with gouache, clay modeling, a bouncy castle, ball pit, tug-of-war, activity books with crosswords and word searches, and much more.

The children’s visit, which has already become a company tradition, aims to introduce them to their parents’ work and, most importantly, to foster greater integration between employees and their families.

Vast Infraestrutura has won the 2025 Firjan Sustainability Award with its Aves do Açu project. The initiative was recognized in the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services category.

As a result, 77% of all hires for the TLA construction, carried out by MID Niplan, a company contracted by Vast to manage the project, are local professionals.

The Cinematheque aims to create a lasting legacy for the school, located within Vast’s area of influence, by promoting greater access for children to cultural productions.
