📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) carried out a technical verification of the works of the sanitary sewage system and Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in the city of San Ignacio, department of Misiones, a project that will improve the health and quality of life of more than 12,000 people. The inspection focused mainly on the completion of the work, especially the replacement of pavements and the closure of ditches, key aspects to guarantee the safety of the population and the durability of the infrastructure under construction. During the tour, MOPC technicians reviewed active work fronts, pipe installation points and manholes, as well as the work methods used. The objective is to ensure that the interventions comply with the standards established in the Bidding Terms and Conditions (PBC). The delegation was headed by Eng. Pablo Adorno, coordinator of the Coordination of Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hydraulic Works (CAPSOH), dependent on the Directorate of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DAPSAN) of the MOPC, along with Eng. Alexander Chavez, supervisor of the works. During the visit, the technicians also met with municipal councilors to report on the progress of the project and reiterate the institutional commitment to the quality of the work. We are here to ensure that each phase of the work, especially the completions that impact the daily lives of the neighbors, are carried out with the highest quality, Adorno said. Project Scope The system includes the construction of 32 kilometers of sanitary sewage networks, two pumping stations and a WWTP. The investment reaches G. 114,000 million and, in its first stage, will benefit about 12,000 people, with a projection of final coverage for 18,000 inhabitants. The initiative is part of the Intermediate Cities Sanitation Program, executed by the MOPC with financing from the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF), which also promotes similar works in Santa Rosa del Aguaray, Santa Rita and Carapegua. Environmental and health benefits The future treatment plant will allow sewage to be purified before being discharged into the citys streams, eliminating contaminants through physical and biological processes. With its implementation, the current system of blind wells will be replaced, reducing the risk of contamination of streams and groundwater. Information to the community In addition to the new health infrastructure, socialization actions are promoted with neighbors, through neighborhood meetings and home visits to report on the progress of the works, the streets intervened, work schedules and the benefits of the system.
