In 1998, Hurricane Mitch destroyed the main wastewater system of the Central Municipal District of Honduras, in the sister cities of Tegucigalpa and Comayaguela. SANAA, Honduras’ national water company, and the municipality of Tegucigalpa are working to rebuild and improve the district’s sanitation system.
A Seureca-Tecnisa consortium is carrying out detailed studies for rebuilding the wastewater system as well as the principle wastewater treatment plant for domestic, industrial, and commercial wastewater in the Honduran capital.
In the first phase, the wastewater system under study will treat the wastewater of more than 1.5 million inhabitants as well as the industrial and commercial wastewater for a major portion of the twin cities.
Our solution
The expertise used to carry out these studies includes:
- Projection of the future sanitation needs - an update of the master plan;
- Assessment of different sites for locating a wastewater treatment plant;
- Environmental and social impact studies;
- Defining requirements for the dimensioning and design;
- Tecnico-economic analysis of alternative solutions;
- Geotechnical and topographical studies;
- Detailed technical and economic studies for the proposed infrastructure;
- Operation and maintenance manuals of the infrastructure.
