📋 Tender Overview
The Regional Government of Ayacucho GRA through the Sub-Management of Works and the Office of Operation and Hydraulic Maintenance OPEMAN carried out an exhaustive evaluation and supervision of the Ichocruz tunnel in Chiara in order to verify the state of conservation of the tunnel for its respective maintenance because more than 25 years a technical evaluation was not carried out.Specialists in hydraulics and tunnels were established at the site to carry out the monitoring and their respective evaluation of the pipeline since it fulfills a very important function that of supplying drinking water in quantity and quality for the entire province of Huamanga. According to the experts during the tour some deficiencies have been found within the tunnel that has an extension of 7 km plus 600 linear meters which is why they highlighted the need to give it preventive maintenance in order to give it greater durability over time.This technical visit was carried out jointly with the different specialists because since its creation this tunnel has not been supervised. The supply of drinking water is our priority and supervision is timely. During the tour it has been seen that the conduit support is made of concrete with mesh and socre and what is recommended is that resistance tests be carried out since this will allow to know the safety factor explained the specialist in tunnels Yosmir Julin.On the other hand the representative of Opeman Amrico guila Prez explained that this evaluation is an important step that will allow to continue with the maintenance of more tunnels of the hydraulic system which transfers both for the agricultural sector and for human consumption He also mentioned that the GRA is committed to supporting the water project and providing this important resource to the more than 355 thousand users that exist in the province of Huamanga and its metropolitan districts.There are faults from the geotechnical point of view this can endanger its stability. This would mean a serious social loss because the water supply to the city of Ayacucho would be cut off for a period of one month because the current infrastructure is not ready. This evaluation will lead us to economically quantify the cost of the current maintenance of the tunnel said guila.
