During the month of October, Latinoconsult was awarded the tender for the “Consulting services for the performance of basic studies, execution of basic engineering, preparation of the bidding documentation and environmental impact study for the 500 kV interconnection works: T.S. Rodeo – T.S. La Rioja South. “

Professional Engineering Services AYSA has entrusted Latinoconsult with the execution of the sewage network in the area called BellaVista 1 of the San Miguel district and the Las Catonas collector, which is part of the network of collectors that will collect sewage effluents from a large area of the Moreno district to take it to the Las Catonas treatment plant, located on the banks of the creek of the same name with its final destination in the Reconquista River. The collector will receive the effluents from the areas called Santa María 1 and 2 awarded to another consulting firm. The area called Bella Vista 1 covers about 2.33 km2 and has a population, according to the 2010 Census, of 12,881 inhabitants. The project foresees a population of 18,447 inhabitants for its horizon set in the year 2047.

The project consisted of the design of a parking lot with two basements; the first for bus lines and the second for private vehicles belonging to public officials. It will be located in the block between Madero, La Rábida, Rosales and Perón avenues. Currently the property contains a parking lot on the surface and the presidential heliport, which will be moved, allowing the landscaping to be carried out at level. The construction method consists of the execution of piles in situ and concrete screen to make the perimeter walls and the construction of a sub-pressure slab, all conveniently braced with anchors. Then the interior structure of beams, columns, slabs and interior partition is built. As indicated by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, given the need to carry out the work in 15 months, the structural design was based on pre-molded structures. The project is completed with ventilation, fire-fighting, exhaust and electrical installations; In addition, it was also necessary to study a traffic model to verify the impact of the work on the road environment.

The main workshop is located in the city of Charata, Chaco, about 300 km from the city of Resistencia. A multidisciplinary team of professionals and technicians is in charge of the project review and inspection of this work, which began on January 2, 2017 and will last approximately 15 months. The section in question is part of the comprehensive plan for the renewal of tracks in Belgrano Cargas Railway, from the Jujuy province to the ports of the Rosario area (Santa Fe), significantly improving cargo transport times, mainly cereals, and reducing logistics costs. The work consists of the review of the detailed engineering and the comprehensive inspection of the 94 km railroad extension work. The track area must be cleaned, the entire existing narrow gauge track (1 m) raised, and work on the shaping of the new subgrade, compaction of the embankment, and the assembly of a 25 m long section with rails (profile 54E1, class R260), fixings and new reinforced concrete sleepers (at a rate of 1,500 per km, supplied by ADIF) and their assembly, completing the work with the provision and laying of ballast in a thickness of 30 cm, transverse and longitudinal leveling of the new track. There will also be numerous level crossings and sewers. Prior to the start of the works, the environmental impact study and the environmental management plan had to be approved, of which the monthly monitoring continues.

In December 2014, Latinoconsult was awarded the project review and supervision of the potable water supply works to the towns of Wichí el Sauzal, Misión Nueva Pompeya and Fuerte Esperanza, Province of Chaco. The works are carried out through the initiative and administration of the Norte Grande Executing Unit and with financing from the World Bank. It is a project of great relevance to be able to supply drinking water to the populations that inhabit what is called the “impenetrable” area. The work consists of an intake to capture raw water on the Bermejo river at the height of the town of El Pintado. From there, the water is driven by pumps located on a pontoon to a system of pre-settlers. From the latter the water is propelled through a 6700 m aqueduct to the town of Wichí. In this town a water treatment plant is being built that will provide drinking water to its inhabitants through an elevated tank. The rest of the water produced will be pumped to a water cistern in the town of El Sauzal through a DN 500 mm aqueduct. From the cistern it will be pumped to an elevated tank to supply the locality. On the other hand, through a 26,700 m aqueduct, pre-settled water is carried to the town of Nueva Pompeya where a water treatment plant, a cistern, an elevated tank will be built and the existing networks will be renewed and expanded. The important work carried out by the Contractor Executing Unit, the Contractor and this Consultant, in relation to communication, anthropology and environmental studies actions, is particularly noteworthy.

A vital work for the improvement of public transport in the City of Buenos Aires Latinoconsult prepared the feasibility study and the preliminary project for the works of the Metrobus tunnels on July 9. In addition, it is currently reviewing the executive project and inspecting its construction. The work consists of two tunnels for the exclusive use of public bus transport, in order to achieve the reversal of the circulation of their lanes. The purpose is to expand connectivity in the area, increasing the daily passenger transport capacity from 200,000 to 400,000 users, in addition to reducing travel time between the Retiro and Constitución stations. Buses heading south along the central lanes of 9 de Julio will enter the tunnel at Carlos Calvo and exit onto Lima Street. For their part, buses heading north will enter the tunnel from Bernardo de Irigoyen before Cochabamba Street, emerging on the central 9 de Julio road at Carlos Calvo Street. The tunnels will intersect underground, at 9 de Julio Avenue, between Humberto I and San Juan, where the depth will reach 6.5 meters. The aforementioned tunnels are made up of sectors of tunnels and trenches, with a 6.0-meter lane + 1.2-meter and 0.5-meter sidewalks on each side, a vertical clearance of 4.20 meters, a maximum longitudinal slope of 6% and a guideline speed of 40km / h. With the work of an interdisciplinary team of Latinoconsult professionals, at present it carries out the review of the executive project and the inspection of the correct execution of each of the construction stages of the Metrobus Tunnels, in strict compliance with their respective specifications. techniques and the observance of the rules of good construction art, guaranteeing that the different tasks are carried out under conditions favorable to the interests of the principal AUSA, the city government (GCBA), all potential users and residents .
