Diseño del sistema de alcantarillado sanitario para el sector Joya Alta, cantón Patate, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

Sanitary sewer systems are currently considered a basic service, as they are fundamental in preventing environmental pollution and protecting public health. For this reason, and in response to the need of the residents of the Joya Alta sector for a sanitary sewer system that ensures optimal quality of life, this project was carried out in three phases, allowing us to achieve the overall objective. In the first phase, a preliminary study of the sector's conditions was conducted. Surveys were carried out in all beneficiary households, and a georeferenced topographic survey was completed. In the second phase, the necessary parameters were determined to design an optimal system that complies with the specifications established by current national standards, as well as international standards that align with Ecuadorian regulations. Finally, in the third phase, an economic analysis of the proposal was performed. Additionally, beyond the established objectives, an evaluation of both the infrastructure and the proper functioning of the components of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the La Joya community was conducted. This evaluation ensures the treatment of wastewater generated by the design of this sanitary sewer network. Upon completing the design, the following results were obtained: the sanitary sewer network of the Joya Alta sector spans a total of 2.586 km, including 72 inspection manholes and 70 PVC pipe segments, covering a total study area of 27.13 hectares. Furthermore, it was verified that the network meets the guidelines established in the standards applied to this project. Finally, a construction schedule was established for a period of four months, with a total budget of $235,543,12. The project will improve sanitary and environmental conditions while promoting economic and social development in the Joya Alta sector.
