Mejoramiento vial en 1.671 Km de longitud de la calle “K” en el barrio San Francisco, parroquia Chillogallo, cantón Quito, provincia Pichincha

Abstract

This technical project is being developed to improve "K" Street in the Province of Pichincha, Canton Quito, Chillogallo Parish, with a length of 1.671 km. This road is a fundamental part of the economic, agricultural, and livestock development of the area, serving as an alternative route for people coming from Lloa, Chillogallo, and Buenaventura. To carry out the project study, various field and laboratory studies were conducted. Initially, a detailed topographic survey was performed, as well as a vehicle count for 7 days, 12 hours a day, to determine traffic volume. A soil study was also conducted by extracting test pits every 600 meters with a depth of 1.50 m, for AASHTO, SUCS, and CBR classification tests. Subsequently, the geometric design of the road was developed based on the project's topography, following the recommendations of the MOP 2003 and AASHTO 93 standards, allowing for the design of the pavement structure. Additionally, a hydraulic study is necessary to design the ditches and drainage system to prevent flooding on the road. Finally, a road signage analysis is carried out, determining the locations of vertical and horizontal signs. The environmental impact of the project is also assessed, identifying the potential environmental effects it could cause.
