📋 Tender Overview
There is a risk that the Provincial Municipality of Ilo will receive a completed structure in 2025 with construction failures or deficiencies.Moquegua. - The Comptroller Generals Office warned the Provincial Municipality of Ilo that proof of compliance with the technical file for the coastal pier work was granted without considering that there are cracks in walkway floors and public spaces.
In the Control Milestone Report No. 6 (003-2026-OCI/0445-SCC), whose evaluation period was from February 2 to 6, 2026, it was evident that the completed work presents longitudinal, transverse and branched cracks that would have been caused by lack of expansion joints, limited resistance of concrete and terrazzo or poor compaction of the base (soil on which the concrete floor was built); Superficial spider web type cracks were also found that would denote technical deficiencies in the execution of the terrazzo floors.
It was identified that, in the work notebook of the resident and construction inspector, as well as in the minutes of completion of physical execution, no observations were made for the failures observed in the work, which would shorten the useful life of the floors of the coastal boardwalk, which was executed by direct administration and ended on July 24, 2025, whose total updated investment amounts to S/ 31,275,151.
Cracks in terrazzo and concrete floors will facilitate the infiltration of moisture or water, which would generate the disintegration of the aggregate and loss of its wear or rolling layer that would reduce its quality and useful life to a few years, the control report states.
The inspection also revealed patches with aluminum profiles of cracks located in all subzones of the work; However, this would not be considered a technical solution because by inserting the aluminum they cut the terrazzo, weakening the area and breaking the aesthetics of the framework established by the technical file. This violates the quality standards of the building, damaging the aesthetics of the project and weakening the structure of the floor.
Finally, there is a delay in receiving the work by the verification, reception and settlement committee. It should be noted that this work has already been used by the population since 2024 and 2025. Delays in receiving the work would mean that, if damage is caused, it is not known whether it was due to poor construction or due to the use of the citizens, which is why greater risks are being generated for the verification of compliance with the technical file and quality of the work.
The Control Milestone report was communicated to the head of the Provincial Municipality of Ilo so that he can take the appropriate actions. The details of the report can be consulted on the Control Report Search portal, as well as all the results of the services performed by the Comptrollers Office.
