Industry Updates
The decommissioned Xingu dam in the town of Mariana was the site of the dam rupture that killed 19 people in 2015 and had its risk level elevated last October. Although the dam stopped operations in 1998, there are workers employed by Vale on site to monitor its stability in advance of decommissioning procedures.
As of June 11, Vale is considering the use of remote controlled trains to mitigate the risk to workers.
