Applus+ will launch a strategic project focused on the design and analysis of projects, technical supervision of medium- and low-voltage electrical distribution networks, and the execution of environmental inspections and assessments associated with these infrastructures across the state of Alagoas, Brazil. The project, scheduled to begin in March 2026 and run until March 2030, will comprehensively support the expansion and modernization of the power grid, ensuring technical, environmental, and regulatory compliance throughout all phases.
Applus+ combines its expertise in electrical engineering, construction supervision, and environmental management for linear infrastructure, an essential approach for distribution projects crossing urban, rural, and environmentally sensitive areas. The scope includes power grid technical design validation, on-site supervision, and environmental studies required by Brazilian regulations, integrating sustainability, operational safety, and environmental protection criteria.
From an environmental perspective, the project includes diagnostics and assessments to identify, analyze, and mitigate environmental impacts associated with electrical network deployment. Key studies include the Simplified Environmental Diagnosis, which evaluates physical, biotic, and socioeconomic factors, and the Environmental Control Report (RCA), in line with IBAMA guidelines. This includes a 100% Forest Inventory (per IN 06/2009/IBAMA), secondary fauna characterization, and a Fauna Displacement Plan to reduce risks during construction.
For environmental data management, the project incorporates AmbiensQ, Applus+ digital platform for environmental data recording and management. It supports field photo records, environmental indicators, and digital reporting, ensuring data traceability and accessibility in line with regulatory requirements.
Environmental studies assess key parameters across different components: geology and water resources (physical), vegetation and biodiversity (biotic), and municipal and community impacts (socioeconomic). Operational aspects such as earthworks volumes and solid waste generation are also evaluated.
The environmental scope explicitly addresses impacts such as vegetation clearing, erosion, wildlife interference (including risks to birds and primates), waste generation, and socio-environmental effects on land use, communities, and cultural or archaeological assets.
From a project decision-making perspective, key risks include environmental non-compliance, permitting delays, regulatory penalties, community conflicts, and schedule deviations. Applus+ mitigates these risks through an integrated approach combining technical supervision, regulatory-compliant environmental studies, and digital tools for control and traceability.
With this project, Applus+ strengthens its position as a technical and environmental partner for electrical infrastructure projects, delivering solutions in network engineering, construction supervision, environmental management, impact studies, and digitalization through AmbiensQ. The initiative supports the safe, sustainable, and compliant expansion of the electrical distribution network in Alagoas, aligned with international best practices and standards for critical infrastructure.
