Análise do processo de reequilíbrio de preços da ETE Mato Grande durante a pandemia do Covid-19

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the rebalancing processes that occurred in the Expansion and Modernization of the Sewage Treatment Station of Mato Grande, located in the municipality of Canoas/RS, during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, between the years of 2020 and 2022. The pandemic caused the stoppage of activities and a decrease in the manufacture and distribution of steel inputs and other raw materials in the sector, which consequently caused an unprecedented inflation in the cost of production in civil construction. In this context, the study addressed which items needed price correction, how the calculations were performed and whether the values were significant to guarantee the continuity and quality of the work in question, analyzing the final effectiveness of the process and its ease of applying it during the progress of the work. A qualitative descriptive study was carried out, where we analyzed the prices and values applied duranting the building, calculating the total rebalanced value to arrive at the result, according to the Laurece Bardin analysis method. From the results, tables were created to compare the company's profit without the application of the rebalancing processes, where it was possible to see their importance to maintain the viability of the work, in addition to highlighting the great losses that were avoided by the company through the making these adjustments.
