“ANÁLISIS DE LAS NORMATIVAS PARA DIAGNÓSTICOS DE REDES DE ALCANTARILLADO SANITARIO APLICANDO EL EQUIPO CCTV”

Abstract

Nowadays, it is essential for the urban growth of a city to have an optimal wastewater collection system, and thus offer decent living conditions to those who inhabit it. For this reason, for the city of Guayaquil it has become a priority to provide coverage of the sanitary sewer system to the entire population, currently supplying approximately 90%. It is worth mentioning that the entities in charge of the control and management of water in the city of Guayaquil have incorporated new technologies for the inspection and rehabilitation of sewer pipes, with the aim of conserving their useful life, reducing execution costs and the social impact. However, there are still ambiguities regarding the criteria to be considered to diagnose the condition of the pipes, and this is because in Ecuador there is no standardized standard that allows qualifying the condition of the pipes under the same criteria. Although there is an internal methodology for sewer system inspections that was proposed by the concessioned entity in the city's water management, it should be specified that it is not approved by any state institution, so it is not considered standard.This project will proceed to analyze the application of foreign regulations for the diagnosis of sanitary sewer pipes through the use of CCTV equipment, and contrast it with the local methodology used in the city of Guayaquil, with the proposal to propose improvements in the diagnostic stage. In addition, it is expected to compare the inspection processes that have occurred during the last 10 years, taking as a study sample the sectors of Los Vergeles in 2008 and La Chala that began in 2016 and work was carried out until today. On the other hand, a statistical, economic and general analysis of the rehabilitation processes is carried out, describing how the corrective methods have been updated from the scope that provides the results of the inspections with the CCTV equipment. Well, the present study can benefit the public company in charge of carrying out the control of sewage systems, because it could obtain greater certainty of the methodology used in Guayaquil for diagnoses of sewer pipes, obtaining better results in decision making, and thus, prioritize investments and resources so that those pipe systems that most require it are intervened.
