Diseño del sistema de alcantarillado pluvial para la ciudadela El Modular, ubicada en el Cantón Durán

Abstract

The following project aims to design a storm sewage system for the Ciudadela El Modular, in the Durán canton, to mitigate the negative effects caused by the absence of an efficient rainwater drainage system. This problem has generated recurrent flooding, affecting the mobility, safety and quality of life of its inhabitants. The project was developed through a detailed topographic analysis of the area, a hydrological study based on precipitation records and hydraulic calculations using SewerGEMS software and Excel spreadsheets. In addition, technical parameters such as runoff coefficients, rainfall intensities, concentration times and pipe diameters were evaluated to ensure an efficient and sustainable design. The design considers the installation of drains, main collectors, inspection wells and other necessary components to guarantee the adequate collection and conduction of stormwater to natural drains, thus minimizing public health risks and material damage. The applicable national and international technical standards will also be respected.
