DESCRIPTION OF WORKS

The project involved laying the main sewage collection network in the city of Termas de Río Hondo and building the effluent treatment plant located on the bank of the Rio Dulce 3.5 km from the city center towards the east.

The sewage collection network under construction replaces part of the existing collecting basins (constituting a set of unrelated subsystems) which discharge the raw effluent into Rio Dulce through natural and artificial rainwater channels and extends the network to new sectors which are currently lacking in any service.

 

The new networks converge at pumping stations which drive the liquid sewage to the treatment plant.

The network was designed in poly vinyl chloride (PVC) for intermediate diameters and GPR for larger diameters totaling over 140,000 m in pipelines.
