Diseño del sistema de drenaje pluvial del Campus Gustavo Galindo ESPOL sector C (PARCON/ZEDE)

Abstract

This project aims to mitigate flooding issues and the deterioration of present and future infrastructure in Sector C of the Gustavo Galindo campus of ESPOL, through a technical and sustainable approach. For this purpose, the micro-watersheds that influence the project area were characterized through hydrological modeling the hydrodynamics. The system was evaluated through mathematical simulation and a network of 14 branches and 12 discharge points were designed considering: technical, environmental, economic, and social factors. The project development included field visits, soil laboratory testing, and the implementation of local and international design standards. Among the evaluated alternatives, the mixed solution (gray and green-blue) is the most suitable by reducing runoff and incorporating sustainable solutions The system's capacity to manage runoff, improve water handling, and promote sustainable urban development are key highlights. In conclusion, the proposed design contributes to the conservation, productivity, and sustainability of the sector, establishing a replicable model for future expansions.
