CIMNE researcher Marcos Arroyo takes part in a dutch TV investigation documentary about the Brumadinho dam failure

Dec 27, 2022

On 18 December, KRO-NCRV, a public television and radio organization in the Netherlands, broadcasted the investigation documentary about the Brumadinho dam failure titled “The deadly dam burst” via Pointer, a new digital platform for acclaimed Dutch data journalists.

Documentary

The documentary was prompted by interest in the role of a dutch company (Fugro) whose Brazilian subsidiary was drilling in the dam on the day of the breach.

It is available on https://pointer.kro-ncrv.nl/de-dodelijke-dambreuk (in dutch).

Please, if you want to know more about this topic go to the video of Marcos Arroyo's lecture on “Numerical analysis of the Brumadinho tailings dam failure” hosted by the Calgary Geotechnical Society given a year ago today.
