CONSTRUCTION PROJECT FOR THE MANTOVERDE DESALINATION PLANT UNDERWATER PIPELINES (CHILE)

Start Date / End Date: 2012
Place: ATACAMA (CHILE)
Scope: Construction Project
Description:
This project included the construction design of the desalination plant underwater pipelines including an intake structure and diffuser section.

The characteristics of the pipe are as follows:

    •    Material: PE100.

    •    Definition of pipes: intake Øe=800 mm SDR 26 and outfall Øe=560 mm SDR 26

    •    Length: 709 mm (outfall) and 510 mm (intake)

    •    Maximum flow rates: intake: 3.6 m3/s and outfall: 0.76 m3/s

A detailed study of the following aspects was conducted:

    •    Marine climate based on NOAA data.

    •    The optimisation of the pipeline route pursuant to EIS and running along the concession area.

    •    The sinking process.

    •    A temporary platform for the surf zone.

    •    An initial dilution study with the Visual Plumes software.

    •    Auxiliary elements for proper operation: vent holes, anti-trawling devices, man-holes…
