Diseño de la red de alcantarillado sanitario para los sectores de Chilcapamba y Olalla, del cantón mocha, de la provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

Sewage systems play a crucial role in preserving public health and environmental protection by preventing pollution. However, several sectors of the Mocha Canton lack this service. Therefore, the main objective of this technical project was the design of the sanitary sewage network for the Chilcapamba and Olalla sectors in the Mocha Canton, Tungurahua Province. The project was structured in three different phases, each using specific methodologies. In the first, preliminary studies were carried out that included a detailed topographic survey, the execution of surveys, and an analysis of water consumption. In the second, the design was developed in accordance with the current regulations of SENAGUA and the Bolivian Standard NB 688, applying hydraulic calculations according to the “Standards for the Study and Design of Drinking Water Systems and Wastewater Disposal for Populations Greater than 1000 Inhabitants”, while the third focused on the economic evaluation of the project. As a result of this process, a sanitary sewage network was established consisting of 61 wells and 62 pipes, with a total length of 2.7 km. In addition, a detailed volumetric evaluation of the components of the Olalla wastewater treatment plant was carried out, confirming that all elements satisfy the requirement for a total flow rate of 1.80 l/s. In conclusion, it was determined that the designs meet the standards established in the aforementioned regulations and a project execution budget of $304,156.00 was estimated.
