| Work Detail |
The Sunchales sewage treatment plant is carrying out essential repair work on the slopes that separate its three treatment lagoons. These structures had suffered significant erosion due to lack of previous maintenance, compromising the efficiency of the system. The main objective of the work is to restore the stability and functionality of the slopes to ensure adequate treatment. The works include the reconstruction of the slopes using materials resistant to water erosion, such as compacted earth, gravel and possibly some type of specialized lining. These interventions aim to return them to their original geometry and guarantee their long-term structural stability, allowing each lagoon to operate optimally within the lagoon. The project addresses a critical problem: erosion of the slopes had generated leaks between the lagoons, affecting the systems ability to retain wastewater for the time necessary for effective treatment. The reconstruction ensures that each stage of the purification process is carried out correctly, optimizing the removal of contaminants and complying with the standards established by ENRESS (Regulatory Body for Sanitary Services). The lack of prior maintenance highlighted the need to implement preventive care strategies in key sanitary infrastructures. This type of work not only improves the quality of treated wastewater, but also reduces environmental and health risks, ensuring the sustainability of the system on a large scale. |
