 - Wood bridge

In the grid of UFAM's Experimental Farm, a wooden bridge was built on the East-West trail 1, at point 1,600. A large stream (Igarapé do Guaraná) crosses all the East-West trails and, during the rainy season, can form large areas of flooding on its banks, which can reach 300 m in width.

 

The bridge is 60 m long and 1.20 m wide (Image 2), covering the main channel of the stream and a part of the flooding area. The bridge was built with resources from PPBio (labor), CNPq (material and food) and the Direction of the Experimental Farm (gasoline and chainsaw oil). All the wood used for the production of the bridge was obtained on the farm itself, using dead tree trunks, made of rigid wood for great durability. The total cost for the production of the bridge was approximately R $ 3,000.00, distributed as follows: R $ 1,500.00 for labor, R $ 450.00 for material (chains and chainsaw files, ropes, nails, hammer, handsaw, rosaries and boots), R $ 350.00 for food, R $ 400.00 for chainsaw rental and R $ 300.00 for gasoline and oil.
