Estudio para la renovación del Sistema de Alcantarillado Sanitario en la comunidad Huapante Grande, cantón Píllaro, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The implementation of sanitary sewerage systems constitutes critical infrastructure for public health and environmental disaster mitigation; however, numerous sectors of Huapante Grande persist in utilizing technologically obsolete basic sanitation modalities, such as septic tanks, evidencing a lag in urban development. This disparity substantiates the imperative need to conduct an updated comprehensive diagnostic that, through scientific-technical methodology, establishes design parameters aligned with current regulations. This study will provide the evidence-based foundation for formulating an initial guide to optimize hydraulic management, ensuring sustainable, resilient solutions tailored to the specific context. Methodologically, the research implemented a comprehensive diagnostic phase through predesign data collection (cadastral surveys, topography, sociodemographic surveys, and water supply analysis), followed by network modeling with multi-source regulatory justification (CO 10.7-601/602 and NB 688 for hydraulic-sanitary optimization). Subsequently, a multivariate economic analysis was developed according to SERCOP standards, yielding: communityadapted technical specifications, certifiable Unit Price Analyses (UPAs), and a scheduled budget—thus guaranteeing technical-financial viability and compliance with project cycles for basic sanitation infrastructure in vulnerable settings. As a methodological corollary, the proposed sanitary design is validated to holistically satisfy technical feasibility criteria: the projected network (128 inspection manholes and 126 pipe segments) demonstrates parametric coherence with analyzed hydraulic and regulatory standards. The SERCOP-adjusted economic-financial evaluation quantifies the required investment at USD $920,006.59, while risk analysis establishes an 8-month execution timeline under optimal conditions. These certifiable outputs (technical specifications, UPAs, and WBS schedule) constitute the quantitative basis for implementing resilient infrastructure in communities with historical sanitation deficits, thereby closing the research-application cycle
