The construction of the drinking water distribution system in Carlos Keen, Luján, Buenos Aires, reached 87.64% progress. This work, which implies a significant improvement in the quality of life of the community that does not have a water network, represents an investment that exceeds $51 million, financed through the Argentina Hace program. The project covers an area of ??86.45 hectares and is designed to serve an estimated future population of 3,407 inhabitants.
The work is in charge of the contractor News Constructora SA and in its development it creates four jobs. The works include the construction of an extraction well strategically located on the corner of Carlos Pellegrini and 20th Street, with an estimated depth of 70 meters. This well will be connected to the Puelche aquifer, which will guarantee a constant supply of drinking water. In addition, a pressure compensation tank with a capacity of 80m³ will be installed in the same place, ensuring stable pressure throughout the network.
Also included is the installation of 11,403 meters of HDPE pipe network of different diameters. In addition, 27 hydrants will be added to guarantee the safety of the community and 437 home connections will be made.
It should be noted that another drinking water network is also being executed, in this case in the town of Open Door, belonging to the same party and which also did not have this service. This time it is the first stage and is carried out thanks to an investment that exceeds $94 million, financed through the Argentina Hace program. The work is 89.94% complete and will improve the lives of 5,075 inhabitants.
This project is carried out by the same contractor and generates five jobs. The work involves the execution of 22,914 meters of HDPE pipes in different diameters, the installation of 40 hydrants, and a 70-meter-deep borehole, which will be connected to the same aquifer. In addition, the assembly of an 80m³ elevated tank is planned to guarantee the network pressure and the installation of 1,238 home connections. |
