| Project Detail |
Purpose
Overall goal
Vulnerability of road infrastructure against disaster is decreased in El Salvador.
Project Purpose
Capacity of the Department of Climate Change Adaptation and Strategic Risk Management (DACGER) is strengthened to improve disaster risk management of road infrastructure.
Outputs
Risk diagnosis ability against earthquake for road infrastructure (bridges, road slopes) is improved.
Standard specifications, design guide and cost estimation standards for road disaster risk reduction projects are formulated.
DACGERs project management capacity on road disaster risk reduction projects is enhanced.
Project outcomes from disaster risk diagnosis and road disaster risk reduction projects are shared with domestic and outside countries.
Project Activities
1-1 Review of earthquake-resistance design standards and analyzing them.
1-2 Setting earthquake-resistance standards for bridges and road slopes.
1-3 Collection and organization of basic information on bridges and road slopes during phase 1.
1-4 Formulation of manuals and formats of risk diagnosis.
1-5 Implementation of risk diagnosis
1-6 Planning of road disaster risk reduction projects with total risk assessment of rain and earthquake risk
1-7 Prioritization of road disaster risk reduction projects through countermeasure alternative studies with benefit-cost analysis.
2-1 Formulation of standard specifications (monitoring of movement state, quality management, construction management) for road disaster risk reduction projects
2-2 Formulation of design guide for road disaster risk reduction projects.
2-3 Formulation of cost estimation standards for road disaster risk reduction projects.
2-4 Request for the approval of standard specification, design guide, cost estimation standards
3-1 Selection of several pilot projects for road disaster risk reduction
3-2 Implementation of Environmental and Social Consideration Study
3-3 Construction ordering of pilot projects subject to standard specifications
3-4 Implementation and management of pilot projects subject to standard specifications
4-1 Strengthening communication between MOPTVDU and public about the project progress and outcomes
4-2 Technical transfer of the Project outcomes to infrastructure-related organizations and local governments by DACGER as master trainers
4-3 Technical exchanges among engineers who are assigned public infrastructure projects for sharing the Project outcomes (technical tour invitation to pilot projects site at implementation time)
4-4 Sharing of the risk diagnosis manual and standard specifications with Central American Secretary for Economic Integration (hereinafter referred to as "SIECA") and countries of Central America
