📋 Tender Overview
More than 36 thousand geological dangers have been identified in the country, many of them in densely populated areas of Lima and Callao.The Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute (INGEMMET) has identified a total of 2,170 critical areas and more than 36,000 geological dangers nationwide. Only in Metropolitan Lima and Callao 69 critical areas on slopes and 173 geological hazards are reported, located mainly in districts such as Chorrillos, Independencia, Rimac, Lurigancho, Chaclacayo, Cieneguilla and San Juan de Lurigancho.
Geological hazards include natural processes such as landslides, rock falls, landslides and dumps, which can be detonated by factors such as rain or earthquakes. On the other hand, the critical areas correspond to places where these geological hazards coincide with the presence of population, homes or infrastructure exposed, which makes them priority areas for intervention and mitigation.
These areas are mostly located on hills of hills, areas close to slopes and soils that are not consistent, which makes them highly prone to activate in the face of the occurrence of seismic movements. This scenario was evident during the earthquake of June 15, 2025, when several points of the coastal road suffered landslides for cosismic effects, interrupting traffic and exposing the fragility of this coastal strip of our capital.
INGEMMET will continue with the monitoring and evaluation of geological hazards, providing key information for the protection of the life and well -being of the population.
