Diseño del sistema de alcantarillado sanitario para el barrio El Rosal de la parroquia El Triunfo, del cantón Patate, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The implementation of appropriate sanitary systems for wastewater management constitutes a fundamental pillar in preserving community health and environmental care. However, various areas of the country face daily limitations to this basic infrastructure. El Triunfo parish, belonging to Patate Canton, Tungurahua province, presents deficiencies in sanitation services, with the El Rosal neighborhood being one of the most affected sectors. Given this situation, the present project developed the technical design of a sanitary sewer network to meet the needs of this community. The methodology was structured through 3 main stages. Initially, field studies were executed that included a detailed topographic survey of the study site and the application of in-person surveys to sector inhabitants, obtaining relevant information for system dimensioning. Subsequently, hydraulic design was carried out applying regulatory guidelines established in the "Standards for the Study and Design of Potable Water Systems and Wastewater Disposal for Populations Greater than 1000 Inhabitants," complementing the data with the "Bolivian Standard NB 688." During the development of this phase, technical parameters such as pipe diameters, maximum and minimum velocities, hydraulic gradients, and conduit cross-sections were determined, ensuring proper system operation. Finally, detailed technical construction drawings were prepared that reflect the study results. The technical proposal offers a network of 66 manholes and 64 pipe segments, reaching a total length of 2.78 kilometers. The calculated design flow rate is 2.905 l/s, which will be conducted to the wastewater treatment system previously designed for the Montañitas Settlement. Capacity analysis confirms that the plant is capable of efficiently processing this added flow rate from the new network design without presenting operational deficiencies, thus ensuring comprehensive and sustainable wastewater management for the sector.
