Rediseño del alcantarillado en el cuartel modelo de Guayaquil para su interconexión con la red municipal

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. This study focuses on the redesign of the sanitary and stormwater sewer system at the Cuartel Modelo in Guayaquil, aiming to ensure its proper interconnection with the municipal network and to meet the future demand of approximately 1,200 users. The current infrastructure shows advanced deterioration, with collapsed pipes, obsolete inlets, and inspection chambers at risk of overflow, leading to health issues, flooding risks, and high maintenance costs. The project involved topographic surveys and fieldwork, complemented by potable water consumption data as well as hydrological and meteorological information. Based on the diagnosis, two redesign alternatives were proposed and assessed according to cost, constructability, adaptability, and execution time, selecting the most efficient option. The design process included flow calculations, pipe diameters, and slope determinations in compliance with current standards. The results demonstrated that the proposed system guarantees efficient evacuation of wastewater and stormwater, prevents environmental risks, and is prepared for future expansions. In conclusion, the project represents an integral and sustainable solution that improves the quality of life at the Cuartel Modelo and contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals related to sanitation.
