They are making a new storm drain for the northwest sector of San Francisco.
Water runoff will be expanded and optimized, a need that arose from a study carried out by the Ministry of Infrastructure.
The Municipality is carrying out the construction of a new storm drain that in this case will benefit evacuation in the northwest sector of San Francisco. This is a work located on a section of Av. Juan de Garay, from José Lencinas Street to Las Camelias.
In this way, water runoff will be expanded and optimized, a need that arose from a study carried out by the Infrastructure Secretariat. The tasks are carried out by the construction company Aivel.
“We are supervising a complementary and important work for this entire sector that reinforces the channels through which rainwater flows out. We detected that in the neighborhoods of 20 de Junio, Cottolengo, Independencia and in the Magdalena and Parque Las Rosas lots, rainwater was taking a little longer to drain than the time we considered prudent, so we decided to reinforce the Av. Juan canal. of Garay, now having two drainage channels, thus doubling the evacuation capacity,” said Mayor Damián Bernarte.
The president emphasized the importance of the fact that in San Francisco there are currently several fronts of works being carried out and highlighted: “We are a community that naturalizes works, tasks and standards of living that are not common in the country, even less so in a context of crisis with public works completely paralyzed. We are a city that does not stop doing public works, that is, the funds that residents contribute to the municipality return to works that are necessary."
“This type of work is not seen, but the neighbors notice when the water drains faster, as has happened throughout the city since these works,” Bernarte concluded.
Characteristics of the work
The Secretary of Infrastructure Carlos Ortega specified: “This is a new storm drain whose pipe will be 80 cm in circumference, a length of 130 linear meters from José Lencinas Street to Las Camelias and which will collaborate with the one that currently exists. which has a 60 cm spout. It is estimated that the work will be completed in approximately two weeks.”
Regarding the operation, he explained that "when the rainwater reaches the diversion chamber on Las Camelias Street, the waters are divided, leading to two sectors, one part to the West Basin that then continues through Juan de Garay to the canal and the other to the lagoon located in the Di Fiore field lot, from where it then heads towards Provincial Route No. 1 to collaborate with the storm drain that comes through Juan de Garay, destined for the San Antonio canal.” |
