Aguas de Cádiz will begin in January the works to renew the water infrastructure on General Luque street, in the historic centre. Beforehand, during the month of November, preliminary works will be carried out that do not affect pedestrians crossing the road, such as the rehabilitation of the sewers using the continuous lining system and the installation of temporary pipes.
What is going to be done
The project includes replacing the current supply pipe with a new 100-millimetre diameter ductile iron pipe, which will be connected to the networks on San Francisco, Argantonio, Doctor Zurita and Beato Diego de Cádiz streets. The sanitation sewer will also be renewed using the continuous lining system, without digging trenches, and the household connections will be changed and new manholes, drains and valves will be installed.
In addition, the street surface will be completely renewed. The existing granite cobblestones will be recovered and reused, and the pavements will have new paving, with a single platform that improves accessibility and pedestrian traffic. Street furniture and utility covers will be adapted to the new street level.
No water cuts
During the works, Aguas de Cádiz will set up a temporary supply to guarantee water to residents in the area. These temporary pipes will begin to be installed in November, as part of the preparatory works.
The contractor is Martín Casillas, S.L.U., for an amount of 195,394.62 euros, VAT included, and the approximate execution period is three months.
Meeting with residents and businesses
Aguas de Cádiz has held an informative meeting with residents and shopkeepers in the area to explain the characteristics of the project, the planning and the phases of the works, and to gather the questions raised by those affected.
The start of the works has been scheduled for January in order not to harm commercial activity during the Christmas campaign, one of the busiest times of the year in the area.
