A) Object of the projected works:

The ultimate goal of the project is to eliminate discharges of treated wastewater into the Mar Menor from the Torre-Pacheco and Los Alcázares treatment plants. For this, it is necessary to define the works at the Construction Project level that allow the connection of already treated water from the Torre-Pacheco and Los Alcázares WWTPs with the San Javier WWTP from where they can reach the Mediterranean.

B) Description of the projected works:

The connection pipe between the WWTP of Torre-Pacheco and Los Alcázares with the WWTP of San Javier, is broken down into the following sections:

• Section 1. New treated water pipeline from the Torre-Pacheco WWTP to the vicinity of the Los Alcázares WWTP with a length of 5,107 m. The nominal diameter of the pipe will be Ø600 mm, while the material that makes up the pipe will be double-walled corrugated PVC.

• Section 2. New treated water pipeline from the vicinity of the Los Alcázares WWTP to the connection with the San Javier WWTP with an approximate length of 9,255 m. The conduction in this section is projected with high density polyethylene pipe Ø900mm PN6.

• Section 3. Connection of the outlet of the treated waters of the WWTP of Los Alcázares to the conduction of section 1 coming from the WWTP of Torre-Pacheco with an approximate length of 89 m. The pipe in this section has the same characteristics as that of section 1.

The Base Bidding Budget for the Works amounts to €13.219.398,66, VAT included.
