Elaboración de un manual técnico de especificaciones constructivas de un proyecto de captación y red de distribución de agua potable

Abstract

The present article is a summary of a technical manual of construction specifications for a catchment project and distribution network of drinking wáter, for the supply of vital liquid to communities located in rural areas with a beneficiary population of up to 10 000 inhabitants. The work is intended to serve as a guide for civil engineering professionals in charge of the execution of drinking water projects. With a focus on improving quality and health, the areas required for the execution of this type of infrastructure were established, based on the documentary review of projects carried out previously. At the same time, the estimated costs demanded the execution of the project were established. The study determined the general budget to carry out this kind of work is 1,714,404.11 USD, at 2017, considering that it is necessary to build work of capture, driving, tank ruptures pressure, reserve tank and distribution infrastructure. Among the most representative items are water meters, household connections, PVC pipes, machine excavation and compacted filling.
