ArcelorMittal Steel in the XV Pan-American Games 2007
ArcelorMittal Belgo is present in the XV Pan-American Games Rio 2007, held from July 13 to 19 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
ArcelorMittal Belgo supplied 9,000 tons of steel products for the constructions at Vila do Pan, a residential complex that will host athletes from 42 countries participating in the games.
2.5 tons of steel were donated and transformed into art works to be exhibited outdoors. The pieces represent the various official sports at the Pan-American Games Rio 2007. The theme exhibition “Leveza do Aço” (“Light Steel”), created by the Brazilian artist Nino Ferraz, was launched on June 27 at the Vila do Pan.
The artist is known in the cultural environment as “The Steel Man”. His pieces have an average weight of 500 kilos but can be moved by the touch of a finger.
ArcelorMittal Belgo has developed projects and studies to use steel in the Vila do Pan real state initiative in order to optimize construction costs.
