Structure prevented rebounds up to 620 m3/s to affect fields and population in the areaFaced with the flow increases recorded by the Chancay Lambayeque River, and the threat of overflow and flood that represents the cultivation fields, the Special Project Olmos Tinajones - Peot, through the Operation and Maintenance Management - Gopema, execute the installation of 130 meters of protection of the Rivera with Geobolsas in the La Monteria sector, in the jurisdiction. Chongoyape.
Mr. Luis Piedra Nunez, general manager of the PEOT, details that the protection is executed in a section that the increase in the flow has eroded, in an extension of 130 meters, this as a result of the last rebounds of the river, from 400 to 600 m3/s, product of the heavy rains that are being recorded in the upper part of the hydrographic basin.
The increase in flow has broken a dike in this area and the water has eroding the left bank of the river, threatening to flood the cultivation fields of the area, mostly, sugar cane. Then the geobolsas location decision has been made in order to safeguard the crop fields, he says. The general manager of the PEOT adds that the operations staff is commissioned to monitor the infrastructure of the Tinajones system in order to execute maintenance work and improve vulnerable points. We have already developed works on La Puntilla and the Taymi River with Geobolsas, having obtained better results than with the installation of the Enrocado. A last rebound of 620 m3/s, recorded on March 5, shows that this protection has worked and the affectation to the fields and population was avoided, he noted.
Meanwhile, Ing. Gilmer Benavides Diaz, a technical professional of Gopema - Peot, details that the geobols are made in geotextile and have a measure of 5 meters in length, by 2.40 wide and 1 high; They are filled with material extracted with quarry, insured with machine seams and installed with heavy machinery support and that have a weight of 15 tons, making them almost impossible to be dragged by the water, generating safety in the already installed channels.
