The AySA company continues with the works for the construction of the “Sistema Berazategui” project for the improvement and expansion of the sewage system that will benefit 7.3 million inhabitants and will contribute to the care and improvement of the environment, with an investment of $41,000 million of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
«Working to improve peoples quality of life is the responsibility that I assumed when I arrived at AySA in December 2019; During this administration we have carried out a set of mega-projects that will allow us to have the necessary infrastructure to incorporate more residents into the services," said its president Malena Galmarini.
"This includes the construction of the new Leferrere and Campo de Mayo Treatment Plants, the expansions of the North Plant, El Jagüel and Las Catonas, and in this case, the Berazategui System," he stated.
This mega-work, reactivated under Galmarinis management, is made up of three stages: the Bicentennial Pretreatment Plant, the new Pumping Station and the 7.5 km long Berazategui Emissary.
In the Pretreatment Plant, in operation since 2014, sewage waste from the City of Buenos Aires and the districts of Vicente López, San Martín, part of San Isidro, Tres de Febrero, Morón, Esteban Echeverría, Lomas de Zamora and one small portion of La Matanza, Avellaneda, Lanús, Almirante Brown and Quilmes, which are transported to Berazategui through the centuries-old sewers for treatment.
AySA and the work in Berazategui
The new Pumping Station and the Berazategui Emissary have been executed since the beginning of the year by the companies Queiroz Galvão and Rovella Carranza to expand the treatment capacity of the plant and guarantee the adequate disposal of the treated sewage effluents of the Berazategui sanitation basin in the Río de la Plata.
“We are using world-class technology to address the challenges facing the Río de la Plata and significantly improve environmental conditions; "This investment in cutting-edge technology not only demonstrates our commitment to protecting the environment but, through this work, we are working to improve the health conditions of the inhabitants of the concession, especially those in the southern area," explained Germán Roqueiro, director of Civil and Electromechanical Works at AySA.
The Pumping Station will allow the exit of the effluents treated in the Plant and will have 10 centrifugal pumps with the capacity to pump 33.6 m3 per second, propelling the treated liquid towards a loading chamber for subsequent transport through the Emissary.
Currently, progress continues with ground work on the property and the assembly of the concrete plant.
The Emissary is a 2.60-meter-diameter tri-tube megaduct that will be responsible for dumping the already treated liquids a maximum of 7.5 kilometers from the coast of the Río de la Plata, thus completing the purification process.
Its construction will be carried out from the thermofusion of 620-meter HDPE pipes, which will be manufactured in the United States and transported by sea.
Currently, cleaning, demarcation and excavation of docks and work in the workshop sector were carried out to connect the necessary services of the personnel. |
