UNOPS has awarded Latinoconsult the preparation of the executive project for the sewage treatment plant in the city of Clorinda, Province of Formosa, Argentine Republic. This city has 60,000 inhabitants and is the second largest in the province of Formosa. It is located on the right bank of the Pilcomayo River, approximately 10 km from the mouth of the Paraguay River. The contract includes the realization of sanitary, hydraulic, architectural, structural and automatic projects and control of the sewage plant. The study will also include the economic and financial evaluation and the corresponding environmental and social impact study. The project will be developed using BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology. The project is developed from the initiative of Enohsa and the supervision of Preinvestment. The contract term will be 6 months.

Latinoconsult was awarded to carry out the project review contract and technical and environmental inspection of the works of the comprehensive sewerage system of the city of Añatuya, Province of Santiago del Estero.  The system will comprise: 1 treatment plant with a design flow of 9,570 m³/day, through stabilization ponds 1 lift station 2 km discharge of HDPE, DN 500 mm 143 km of collection networks reuse method of treated effluents for irrigation The city of Añatuya is the head of the General Taboada Department and is the fourth most populous in the Province of Santiago del Estero. Its current population is more than 25,000 inhabitants.

Latinoconsult was awarded the contract to carry out the contract for the maintenance of section 2 of the Magdalena Medio highway. Its layout links the towns of Puerto Araujo and Lizama, located in the Department of Santander, and San Alberto, in the Department of César. The section is 179 km long and includes sectors 11 and 13 of National Route 45, which runs parallel to the Magdalena River. The scope of the contract includes the supervision of preventive maintenance tasks, including pavements, translatability, road safety, cleaning, clearing, logging, and forestry use. The Magdalena Highway project is one of the strategic works that were identified by the Intermodal Transport Master Plan. The main goals of this plan are: to boost foreign trade by reducing transportation costs and times; promote regional trade, improving the quality of subnational transport infrastructure or accessibility; and promote the integration of the territory, bringing citizens and regions closer to its social offer, markets, and service centers. The Bogotá-Caribbean highway, within which this corridor is located, occupies the fourth place of importance in the logistics corridors of the country defined by the Intermodal Transportation Master Plan.

Latinoconsult has been awarded to prepare the update, studies and designs of the Master Plan for drinking water, sanitary and storm sewerage for the municipality of Anapoima, Cundinamarca, Colombia. This municipality has 124 km2 and is located about 87 km from Bogotá. It was founded in 1627 and is currently a favorite destination in this region for recreation, rest and tourism. The contract will have a duration of 10 months and includes the following main activities: Elaboration of diagnosis, field studies and formulation of project alternatives Detailed engineering for the optimization of a water treatment plant, distribution networks and collectors. Legal and environmental feasibility documents, easements and transport road crossings before competent entities. The studies will be carried out using modeling systems with specialized software such as EPA-NET, Watercad and EPA-SWMM, CityDrain, Mike Urban and/or SewerCAD.

Since its inception, Latinoconsult has innovated to be able to satisfy the clients in a timely manner, and every day seeks new ways to advance in the development of assigned projects. In terms of engineering and working method, the world trend is to lean towards collaborative ways of working, to integrative models that facilitate and reduce the time of modeling and design. BIM is that way of working. It stands for “Building Information Modeling”, it is a management method that allows collaborative tasks in real time, integrating all the actors involved in the project from client, project manager, specialist, engineers, architects, technicians and more. The BIM centralizes all the information during the complete life cycle of the project in the same model and it is accessed from the different applications. Latinoconsult has been working with Autodesk from the beginning of the digitization of projects, and it is natural that the transition to BIM is made with its Infrastructure Design Suite tool, which incorporates softwares such as Revit, Autocad, Civil, Naviswork and others. BIM represents the evolution of traditional plan-based design systems, since it incorporates spatial geometry (3D), time (4D), cost (5D), environmental (6D) and maintenance (7D) information. Advantages of development in BIM: Improves data management and complex project information. Facilitates communication between the parties, optimizing workflows. Allows anticipating and solving construction problems in advance. Optimizes costs and work times. It allows simulating security measures and improves risk prevention. Facilitates the use of prefabricated construction materials. Allows the development of more efficient and sustainable works. In a few words, BIM is the new present of work, and at Latinoconsult we are preparing ourselves to provide the best service, as always, with the highest quality standards.

Costa Urbana is an undertaking to be developed in an area of 71.6 hectares located southeast of the current Puerto Madero. It is an open neighborhood that will be integrated into the City of Buenos Aires. Approximately 2/3 of the area will be ceded by the developer IRSA to the City and where a new public park will be created. In the remaining area, more than 895,000 m2 will be built for various uses: homes, offices, shops, services, public spaces, education, entertainment, among others. Latinoconsult will carry out the infrastructure engineering project for this new neighborhood in the City. The works will include the stages of pre-feasibility, preliminary design, bidding project and technical assistance for the bidding of works. Engineering designs for transportation, rainwater, drinking water, sewage, gas, electricity, lighting and low networks will be carried out.
