📋 Tender Overview
The Olmos Tinajones Special Project, current operator of the Olmos Project Transfer works, carries out maintenance work on the Trasandino Tunnel to ensure the continuity of the transfer service to agricultural users of this important hydraulic infrastructure that contributes directly to the countrys economy.
The maintenance work consists of the repair of two sectors of the tunnel with an extension of 45 meters in length in which, due to use, it was necessary to replace the shotcrete (shotcrete), which was detached from the gables (side walls of the tunnel) for greater durability of the structure.
The person responsible for civil works maintenance explained that the release of the material called shotcret occurred at two points located at kilometers 15 and 16, and they were repaired with the participation of personnel and specialists from the Olmos Tinajones Special Project and the Transfer Concessionaire Olmos, as part of their responsibilities for transferring the concession assets.
The activities carried out will ensure that the water from the Huancabamba reaches the Olmos River, through the tunnel, one of the most important components of the Olmos Transfer.
The specialist commented that inspections continue to be carried out permanently in the trans-Andean tunnel to evaluate whether additional maintenance interventions are warranted. It is important to emphasize that for these works, the water cut requested by the Olmos-H2Olmos Irrigation Concessionaire is being used for its own maintenance work.
In this sense, two water cuts have been scheduled. The first of them began at 00:00 on Monday, October 6 until midnight on Friday, the 10th of the same month. Meanwhile, a second suspension will begin from 00:00 on Tuesday, October 21 until midnight on Saturday, October 25. Period that we will take advantage of to continue observing and/or carrying out other maintenance work in the tunnel if necessary.
