General Description

The project comprised the Supervision and Quality Control in the execution of the Works for the Service and Expansion of the coverage of Potable Water and Sanitary Sewerage of Condominal type, aimed at the integral improvement of the system of capture, conduction, storage and distribution of the water resource. The supervised activities included: i) Execution of preliminary works; ii) Supply and installation of 6,490 linear meters of pipes for impulsion and conduction; iii) Construction of a metal storage tank on soil with a capacity of 800 m³; iv) Re-equipment of two operating capture wells, including the rehabilitation of their associated electrical systems; v) Implementation and start-up of a fully equipped relay station; vi) Installation of 250 new household connections; vii) Technical couplings to the existing distribution network; and viii) Execution of environmental mitigation measures, labor risk prevention, general cleaning of the intervention area and final delivery of the works. During the quality control stage, the strict compliance with technical specifications, national regulations and construction standards was verified in each of the constructive processes. Laboratory tests and functional tests were carried out in the hydraulic installations, guaranteeing their operability, efficiency and durability. Likewise, the constructive procedures used were evaluated, ensuring that the works were executed in accordance with the established schedules and with certified materials. In parallel, the Social Development and Training component was developed, aimed at strengthening the capacities of the direct beneficiaries of the project. This component contemplated the realization of informative workshops and technical training sessions on the use, maintenance and preservation of potable water and sanitary sewerage systems. The active participation of the community ensured the appropriation of the project and its long-term sustainability.
