The work was carried out in tandem with the CIPAF canal project.
It is a system that was put in place for the control and separation of solid waste for rainwater that is conducted through a canal and is located just ahead of an existing purification plant. The goal was to solve the longstanding problem of organic waste collection (mainly branches, leaves, small stones) and residues from the water catchment area in the industrial zone. This debris was deposited in the canal in the vicinity of the stretch of pipeline which crosses under the main road. The chances of obstruction and overflow become critical when there are sudden and copious rains and this could cause damage to buildings situated in the nearby industrial area and as well as disrupt vehicular traffic.
The construction of the separation system was done without ever interrupting the flow of the water which was diverted, in accordance with the different building phases.
The first step was to erect concrete structures to help support the installation of the mechanical separation plant. Subsequently three openings on the existing buried pipeline were created in order to conduct the waters towards the mechanical separation screen. In order to carry out this phase of the project, barriers were created and the water was redirected leaving the tract that needed to be worked perfectly dry. The last act was installing the mechanical separating system and making it functional.
