📋 Tender Overview
New work fronts for soil movement and the installation of the storm drainage system were enabled in Phase C of the Pilar Coastal Defense. The work, carried out by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), will strengthen the citys water security and road infrastructure, directly benefiting more than 34,000 inhabitants. Engineer Carlos Brizuela, construction resident, reported that soil movement, sewage and storm drainage tasks are currently being carried out in Sector C. These tasks are carried out in the beach area parallel to the Paraguay River, from the Puerto Nuevo to the facilities of the Pilar Manufacturing Factory. Expansion of work fronts The execution of the project gained greater momentum with the simultaneous opening of new fronts in different parts of the city. In sectors B and C, specifically in the Obrero, 12 de Octubre and General Diaz neighborhoods, the preliminary cleaning work and the collection of prefabricated reinforced concrete pipes began, essential to speed up the installation of the drainage systems. In parallel, the crews are advancing with the stormwater channeling works in the northern area. These interventions border the departmental capital and extend continuously from the San Quintin neighborhood to the intersection with route PY19, with the objective of guaranteeing adequate runoff of precipitation throughout the intervened urban perimeter. Urban impact and definitive solution Considered one of the works with the greatest social and economic impact in the south of the country, the Pilar Coastal Defense will put an end to the historic cyclical floods caused by the flooding of the Paraguay River and the Neembucu stream. In addition, Phase C will complete the project with the construction of a new Costanera avenue and a linear park, intended to enhance connectivity and tourism development in the city. The work is being carried out by the Neembucu Coastal Consortium, made up of the firms LT S.A., Constructora Heisecke S.A. and Benito Roggio e Hijos S.A. This infrastructure will contribute to consolidating a safer and more resilient urban environment in the face of climate events, promoting orderly, modern and sustainable development for the entire Pilar community.
