SUPERLATIVE TERRITORY CHAPTER 19 .- THE SECOND BRIDGE ON THE ORINOCO

"Resentment criticized as morally wrong as the possession he has,

gifts that lacks the risks they dare not run,

pleasures that would incapable of sharing.

is the moral articulation of envy, the ethical expression of impotence "

THE SECOND BRIDGE ON THE ORINOCO

Hello and Welcome, as always, SOMETHING NEW IN TOURISM .

remember that last week we talk about our illustrious Guyanese born September 14 in 1928 to immigrant parents, for their studies, the spirit of resilience and creativity, he led major engineering works achieved our country to rethink the global and progressive, technical and scientific advancement.

We commented, similarly, that many of us do not know the great values \u200b\u200bthat enrich the adjective of Guiana and of ignorance, sin naive, and naive, we know that demand. Even when I'm born in the town of Cumana, the firstborn of the continent, is home to Ciudad Bolivar sheltered me from my childhood and was in me, the spirit of culture and historical attachment to the values \u200b\u200bthat changed the face of a colonial Venezuela a "land and free men," as hailed Ezequiel Zamora.

SOMETHING NEW IN TOURISM , publication is not a classic tourism, ie tourism rose and unique things for the tourist. This page is TOURISM AWARENESS, ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL SECURITIES and . is based on historical and scientific aspects of a tourist area with a large dressing social reflection, in this way encourages interest in history, the study of science, the promotion of values \u200b\u200bin society and social tourism. Therefore, we say SOMETHING NEW IN TOURISM . TOURISM CRITICAL, AND SOCIAL SCIENCE.

This week we'll talk a little about the second work de ingeniería, donde se muestra una vez más, la fuerza creadora del ilustre guayanés Paul Lustgarten, entre otros venezolanos, sobre nuestro Rio Padre el Orinoco, nos referimos al PUENTE ORINOQUIA.

El segundo puente sobre el río Orinoco constituye la obra de infraestructura más importante construida en el país en los últimos años. En su construcción el Gobierno de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela hizo una inversión total de 1.283 millones de dólares. Es un puente mixto con sistema ferroviario y cuenta con cuatro canales de circulación, ofrece tres enlaces importantes al sistema national highway, ie highway Ciudad Guayana Ciudad Bolivar in our state of Bolivar, The Widow in the neighboring state of Anzoategui and Los Pozos in Monagas state.

This work was begun on February 5, 2001, funded by the BANCO DO BRASIL then the national government took over the investment. The supervision of this work is carried out by the Corporación Venezolana de Guayana and enforcement by the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht.

Among the main features we have to have a length of 3,156 meters, is composed of four towers of 120 meters each, 39 cells that reach reach 87 meters deep, two navigation channels of 300 meters and a metal superstructure consists of 272 modules that support the flow channels underpinned by a cable-stayed span of 1,200 meters.

As regards the railway section will create a link to the south with the road that has Ferrominera in Ciudad Piar and northward to the Future National Railway Network, projecting it, the deepwater port in the Gulf Cariaco in my home state of Sucre, allowing the material input and output for import of Companies Core, so as to reduce operating expenses.

Actually, the first feasibility studies, conducted by the CVG, began after 1966, for the construction of the bridge in Ciudad Guayana. To this end, studies of location, topographical, geological, structural, transportation, urban development and the required feasibility study but justified economic-financial in eight different possible construction sites from the eastern city of San Felix and W. SIDOR.

The completion of this work was quite hard because we worked in two shifts of twelve hours, taking approximately 3 000 workers daily who managed to conclude this structure on schedule. Similarly, no resources were spared in its construction and quality. Reference is very important in this project involving staff specializing in different countries: Brazil, Germany, England and Denmark.

With regard to the third bridge on our river BRIDGE MERCOSUR, talk a little next week, but the main theme of the chapters is our great and awesome Canaima National Park, wonderful place where the highest waterfall in the world, our Kerepacupay Vein (Salto Angel) and the sanctuary of the islands in time, the table mountains, mystical land of legends, a place where the Canaima pemones terrified and scared of the stranger.

gives us so little happiness? The answer is it is,

simply because we have not learned to use it wisely "

ANGOSTURA BRIDGE (PART 3)

PAUL LUSTGARTEN. ILLUSTRIOUS GUIANA

Hello and Welcome as always, SOMETHING NEW IN TOURISM .

remember that last week we talked about the three sites originally raised in the technical study for the construction of the Narrows Bridge, stating that the best option for establish bases would be the place called Punta Chacón state of Bolivar and Playa Blanca, in Anzoategui state.

speak on a geological survey summary specifying the materials that make up the ground where they would be the foundations.
all the work is impressive in itself. At the time was a marvel of engineering and it still is, despite the marginalized and the sorry state it is in these moments, for lack of maintenance. Whose responsibility? Well, in my view is for all Guyanese and our neighbors in Soledad, because they simply do not require constant maintenance of the bridge, not a season, but constantly, 365 days a year.

In this way, it would retain a national engineering work, icon of Guyana and the world would, likewise, new sources of employment.

way of thinking, Where is Venezuelan creativity? Where is the initiative of the Guyanese to defend and preserve our historical heritage, cultural sincere manner?

Do we want our city to be respected as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity? Put your hand on your heart and ask our consciousness: Do we really want our city enough to do nothing for her? What would our ancestors Guyanese who gave blood, sweat, tears, wit, freedom and life for our region? "The Liberator of Venezuela, Simón Bolívar, will fall quiet to the grave? "El Libertador de Guayana, Carlos Manuel Piar, will have been executed unjustly after release of the English empire Guiana, in vain? Reflect ...

Similarly, there is a nameless character in many texts, or I should say, in most of the texts that talk about the Narrows Bridge and seemed strange that no mention was made that character in the book ANGOSTURA BRIDGE ON THE RIVER ORINOCO, Ministry of Public Works. Caracas, 1967. is quite unfortunate that many of those who live here do not know who the strongholds that hold the culture, history and progress of our region, our city.

SOMETHING NEW IN TOURISM wants to give due recognition to the designer and driver of this impressive piece of engineering of our Guyana: illustrious son of this land, once ANGOSTURA, ENGINEER PAUL LUSTGARTEN.

Paul Lustgarten. Illustrious Guiana.

Born in Ciudad Bolivar on September 14 in 1928, primary study until sophomore year at the historic Lyceum "Fernando Peñalver" Imagine, when I was located at the headquarters of the House of the Congress of Angostura.

When I was 13 in 1941, his father died. At 18 he moved to Caracas and finished third and fourth year studying at the Liceo "Luis Ezpelosín", then studied the fifth year and graduated from the Liceo Andres Bello, in the city of Caracas. Paul goes to the Central University of Venezuela (UCV) where he studied the first two years of Civil Engineering, but in 1951 closed the university for a year, finishing study in the United States in the RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE New York.

De

back to our country began to work at the Ministry of Public Works as Head of the Board of Calculation of Buildings, from 1956 until 1958, when he was chosen to lead the project BRIDGE OVER THE LAKE MARACAIBO.

Bridge on Lake Maracaibo, Zulia State

This bridge was built between 1959 and 1963, four years slow to build, where 3 000 people worked. At the time was the most important work of global engineering, with 9 kilometers long.

Other projects where he was immersed our Guyanese Paul Lustgarten were: BRIDGE ON THE RIVER LEMON, THE VIADUCT JETS IN THE COTA MIL, CARACAS, VIADUCT Turum, THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER CARONI; VIADUCT OVER DISCHARGE CANAL GURI; VIADUCT MERIDA, SECOND BRIDGE ON THE ORINOCO , plus another 200 bridges and dozens of buildings and tunnels throughout Venezuela.

Our Guiana is distinguished son of Polish immigrants, who sought in this land to improve living conditions, avoiding the emerging anti-Semitism that ended with Hitler's rise to power and subsequent Holocaust was aimed at exterminating the Jews.

Bridge over the Rio Limon, Zulia State

"I have the satisfaction of having contributed to the realization of most of the works major, I was coordinator of the bridge over Lake Maracaibo, worked on the project I bridge over the Orinoco river and did the conceptual design of the Joint Highway System Bridge over the Orinoco River, "recounts renowned Guyanese engineer, who holds the chair of the number XXIII NATIONAL ACADEMY OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE, MATH AND NATURE OF VENEZUELA since 1980.
