Regional infrastructure and public works updates

Various infrastructure and public works projects are underway across several regions. In Ecuador, EPAPAP has initiated a renovation of the sanitary sewage system on Vicente Rocafuerte Street, replacing old asbestos cement pipes with corrugated PVC-D pipes to mitigate leaks and environmental contamination. This project utilizes a collaborative model involving local residents.

In Peru, recent rainfall and heavy vehicle traffic have damaged newly applied asphalt on Grau Avenue following sewage network repairs. The Empresa Prestadora de Servicios de Saneamiento (EPS) intends to resurface the area once weather conditions stabilize.

In Spain, waste removal operations have resumed at the Los Mateos site in Cartagena after delays related to labor safety and the discovery of fibrocement. The project involves clearing waste piles and transporting them to a non-hazardous landfill, using water to control dust.

In Guatemala, technical assessments have revealed severe structural damage, including shear cracking and fissures, in a 50-year-old bridge at the intersection of Aguilar Batres and Anillo Periférico. Covial plans to conduct emergency repairs using concrete injection and carbon fiber, while a permanent solution remains under evaluation by the Municipality of Guatemala.
