Mejoramiento de los sistemas de alcantarillado de la panamericana sur, parroquia Huachi Grande

Abstract

The Parish of Huachi Grande, located in the north edge of Ambato city, has experienced a change in its land use during the last years. Going from a purely agricultural region to a partially residential due to urban growth. Consequently, the existing sanitary system does not satisfy the current demand. For that reason, the public company of drinking water from Ambato EP EMAPA A suggests the need of an improvement in the sewage system in the stretch belonging to the Panamericana road. Therefore, a separate sewage system is proposed. It means, a collection network for residual water and a collection network for storm water independent to each other. This design is aligned to the current Ecuadorian standard, CPE INEN 5 Part 9: Standard for study and design of drinking water systems and sewage systems for populations above 1000 inhabitants. Resulting in a separate network system for a future population projected toward 25 years. This proposal includes 2.79 km of PVC pipe for the residual water system, 1.40 km for the storm water system and 51 manholes overall. This design constitutes a contribution to the improvement of the sanitary and drainage system of the Huachi Grande Parish. Hence, it is a positive impact in the quality of life of its population.
