📋 Tender Overview
The canalization work of the San Lorenzo stream reached 42% progress, consolidating a work that will transform the security, urban infrastructure and quality of life of some 15,000 people in the city of San Lorenzo, Central department. To date, 468 linear meters of the concrete channel have been executed, out of a total of 850 planned meters. The intervention, promoted by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), seeks to provide a definitive solution to the historical problems of flooding and environmental degradation in one of the busiest sectors of the city, located next to the San Lorenzo Ciclovia. In addition to the construction of the canal, the work includes soil movement, excavations, installation of the drainage system, structural filling and compaction work, essential to guarantee the stability and durability of the infrastructure. In order to maintain the pace of execution, concreting days are carried out even at night, taking advantage of the most favorable operating conditions to ensure compliance with the schedule. Sustained progress of the work To date, 2,396.78 cubic meters of FCK 300 structural concrete have been placed, of which 1,764.63 m3 correspond to the bottom slab and 632.15 m3 to the side partitions. Likewise, 529.76 m3 of FCK 150 regularization concrete were executed, used as a base for the construction of the structural elements. In parallel, 3,148 m3 of filling and structural compaction were completed, which allowed 210 linear meters to be advanced in the channels located on the left side of the partition. A work that recovers the city Beyond channeling the stream, the project was conceived as a comprehensive urban intervention that will recover an important public space for the community, improve water runoff and significantly reduce the risk of flooding. The initiative includes the construction of a linear promenade with railings and lighting powered by solar energy, a new plaza and the enhancement of an existing one, both equipped with childrens games and equipment for outdoor exercise. Thus, a sector historically affected by hydraulic problems will become a safer, more accessible and comfortable space for families. The plan also incorporates a social and environmental component aimed at promoting citizen education, the care of public spaces and the correct disposal of waste, strengthening environmental awareness and the sense of belonging of neighbors. In addition to its benefits in terms of infrastructure and quality of life, the execution of this venture generates local employment and boosts the economy of the area. In charge of Construpar S.A., with an investment of G. 44,636 million, the supervision of everything executed is carried out by the Coordination of Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hydraulic Works (CAPSOH) of the MOPC.
