📋 Tender Overview
- Identified lack of compaction of accesses, absence of expansion joints and cracksHuanuco.- The Comptroller General of the Republic warned of serious technical deficiencies in the construction of the Alto Galicia bridge, located in the province of Puerto Inca, which could compromise the durability of the infrastructure and the safety of users.
In the Control Visit Report No. 001-2026-OCI/2940-SVC (evaluation period from March 17 to 23, 2026) it is indicated that the work, in charge of the Provincial Municipality of Puerto Inca, has not been received due to technical observations detected by the responsible committee, which have not been corrected by the contractor.
Among the main deficiencies, the presence of loose material at the bridge approaches was identified, which generated erosions and settlements of up to six centimeters with respect to the level of the slab. This situation shows inadequate compaction of the fill, failing to comply with what is established in the technical file and affecting the durability of the structure.
Likewise, the absence of expansion joints in the concrete slab and in the pedestrian paths was confirmed. In their place, superficial burrones (shallow rectangular channels) were executed that do not fulfill the necessary structural function to absorb thermal movements or stresses, which could cause damage to the concrete joint.
Cracks were also observed along the pedestrian path, which would reflect non-compliance with technical specifications. These failures could accelerate the deterioration of the infrastructure, reducing its useful life and putting the safety of users at risk.
The report also indicates that the lack of technical control during execution would have contributed to these deficiencies, recalling that in November 2025 the absence of the resident and the construction supervisor in certain periods had already been noted.
Another critical aspect is the inadequate management of construction waste. During the inspection, wires, nails, formwork wood and concrete blocks were found that have not been removed, which shows neglect and deficiencies in the final cleaning work.
Because the observations detected in November 2025 were not corrected within the established period, the maximum penalty would apply, equivalent to S/ 87,896.
Finally, the Comptroller Generals Office recommended that the entity adopt corrective measures to guarantee that the investment of S/ 878,969 fulfills its public purpose, which is to improve the local road for the benefit of the communities of the Alto Leticia hamlet, in the district of Puerto Inca.
