A new plant with a treatment capacity of 160 thousand m³/day will be added to the existing plant with a treatment capacity of 80 thousand m³/day. The scope of the contract in which the company participates includes the construction of the entire infrastructure to guarantee the complete potabilization process – collection, transport and treatment – starting from a water intake located in the La Laguna sector of Gatun Lake, 6 km from the plant.

The works to be carried out will be complemented by the repair and maintenance of two road sections: the first one will connect the existing water treatment plant in El Trapichito to the entrance of the Mendoza Water Treatment Plant, while the second one will connect this last point to the raw water intake of the same plant, along 22.2 km. In addition, a new 30-meter, two-lane road bridge will be built over the Caño Quebrado River on the main road to the town of Mendoza, on the existing alignment.
