Usina Elevatória de Traição, Pumping station in Vila Olimpia, São Paulo, Brazil
The Traição Pumping Station extends along the Pinheiros River, near the Engenheiro Ary Torres Bridge, with reversible pumping units for water management.
Built in 1940, this facility was designed to reverse the water flow of the Tietê and Pinheiros rivers as part of the Henry Borden hydroelectric system.
The station represents a milestone in Brazilian engineering, showcasing the integration of industrial infrastructure within the urban development of São Paulo.
The Metropolitan Water and Energy Company manages this station, which controls flooding along the Tietê and Pinheiros rivers during intense rainfall periods.
The station channels water to the Pedreira Pumping Station and then to the Billings Reservoir through an innovative water flow reversal system.
