How does a power plant built in the middle of the Serra do Mar mountain range manage to harness a drop of approximately 720 meters to generate energy?
Hidden among the mountains of Cubatão, in São Paulo, the Henry Borden Power Plant is one of the most impressive feats of Brazilian engineering.
In this documentary, you will discover how engineers took advantage of the enormous slope of the Serra do Mar to build a power generation system that began operating in 1926.
Giant pipes descending the mountain, tunnels carved into the rock, turbines, and a monumental underground structure are all part of this story.
A project that helped boost the industrial development of São Paulo and demonstrates how engineering managed to transform the geography of the Serra do Mar into a source of energy.

Alguém já havia me falado parcialmente... Fico cada vz mais imprecionada, como o HOMEM E SUA ENGENHARIA são BENÉFICOS para a HUMANIDADE!Parabéns pelo vídeo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
Mil vezes parabéns a eles e a você que nos proporcionou este conheciento.
Muito obrigado.
Com grande êxito, foi entregue 889 MW. Mais que uma turbina de Itaipu.
Porém, os políticos paulista, na sua mediocridade, esqueceram-se que o crescimento da cidade implicaria em investimentos em saneamento básico. Fornecimento de agua e tratamento de esgoto. Não fizeram nem um nem outro. O resultado é que hoje a usina Henry Border não tem agua suficiente em volume e qualidade para geração de energia limpa e sustentável.
