📋 Tender Overview
The intervention made it possible to maintain the operation of the Tinajones transfer system after a period marked by climate emergencies and attention to structural priorities.The Olmos Tinajones Special Project - PEOT concluded the activity called Maintenance and repair of surface hydraulic works and electromechanical elements in the Chotano and Conchano tunnels, executed in the district and province of Chota, Cajamarca region, with the purpose of guaranteeing the operation, safety and continuity of the transfer system from the Chotano River to the Chancay - Lambayeque valley.
The work was executed within a period of 60 calendar days and had a reference budget of S/. 481,500 soles, financed with resources from the fee for the use of the major hydraulic infrastructure of the Tinajones System. The amount included a direct cost of S/. 432 thousand 564 soles and general expenses of S/. 48 thousand 936 soles, with valuations carried out monthly during the development of the scheduled items.
The PEOT states that, although the maintenance work on hydraulic structures is part of an annual schedule, in the years 2023 and 2024, priority was given to addressing emergencies caused by extreme weather events, which generated severe damage to other infrastructures of the hydraulic system, demanding immediate interventions and reorientation of resources.
In this period, essential works have been carried out, such as the installation of gabions to protect the Chotano tunnel and the rehabilitation of the access road, affected by river erosion. These actions allow us to meet the objective of ensuring access and protecting critical components of the hydraulic infrastructure.
The intervention also included work to replace the slabs and slopes of the entrance channel, cleaning ditches and sand traps, maintenance of electromechanical elements and structural protection work, allowing the infrastructure to be left in optimal conditions for the transfer of the waters of the Chotano River and strengthening the supply of water resources for population, agricultural and industrial use in the Lambayeque region.
