📋 Tender Overview
The tasks began more than two months ago, and will end on Monday, September 1; The ultimate goal is to extract about 90,000 m3 of sediments, clearings and solid waste.With the objective of contributing to the risk of overflowing and flooding of the waters of the Rimac river, which can affect the population, areas of culture and existing infrastructure near its channel in the first port, the regional government of Callao has been carrying out a campaign to clean and pick up the channel of the aforementioned river, which was visited, this Friday, August 29, by Dr. Ciro Castillo.
With this important management activity it is estimated that more than 30,000 chalacos will be directly benefited, since the risk of river overflows is minimized.
