MOTA-ENGIL PERU RENOVATES
HUARAZ‐CARAZ ROAD
THE RECOVERY OF THE ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE VIAL PAQUETE 5 IS BEING CARRIED OUT USING A STRONG REINFORCEMENT
OF INNOVATIVE MEANS AND SOLUTIONS.
Mota‐Engil Peru is currently carrying out the recovery works in the Vial Paquete 5 road infrastructure in Áncash. The works are being carried out along the 67 km of the road linking Huaraz‐Caraz, and the execution period is eight months.
The soil and surface exploration
works were carried out by Mota‐Engil Peru's Central Laboratory and the proposed project considered the use
of the existing surface, stabilised with foamed bitumen with a thickness of
15 cm and the application of a hot asphalt mixture layer of 5 cm. The implementation of this solution and
the placement of an asphalt binder has minimised the environmental impacts and reduced the inconvenience that the works bring to residents and tourists who visit this region.
This technique was developed by Mota‐Engil Peru in 2007 and has been applied in the various road renovation and maintenance works, which makes Mota‐Engil Peru the pioneer in the use of this technique in the market.
In order to overcome the challenge
of the work’s demanding execution period (which included a seasonal period of four months of rainfall), the work’s management opted for a strong reinforcement of means. Another complex aspect of the work lies in the fact that it is an area of high vehicle traffic, but Mota‐Engil Peru managed to
minimise the time of the activities that required the partial closure of roads to perform this rehabilitation.
This intervention at Vial Paquete 5 will improve road conditions, maintaining the fluidity and safety of vehicle traffic, in addition to reducing operating costs and travel time.
