Luís Correia also highlighted the diversion of traffic and the deadlines of the contract as constraints, as the aim is to minimise this nuisance for the population. “And from that point
of view, the work is also important.”
Within the scope of the Lisbon General Drainage Plan, very important investments are expected in the construction and upgrading of the city’s rainwater drainage network, with the expectation that Manvia Condutas may participate in some of these investments.
“Manvia Condutas is a small contractor and as such, more suited to smaller works. Therefore, these engineering works are obviously very challenging for us, and we enjoy doing them very
much”, he stresses, revealing that this is the tenth microtunneling work carried out in Portugal.
“We started doing this in 2004, and these are always very challenging works, with a great impact on the involvement they have for our staff, and from that point of view, the work itself, the technology and what it requires from Manvia Condutas is also a very interesting challenge”.
Included in the contract are also other upgrading and repair works of existing canals and collectors, such as the upgrading of a transition chamber near Altice Arena and the construction of five new flow distribution chambers at various points of this drainage basin.
These are always very challenging works, with a great impact on the involvement they have for our staff, (...) the work itself, the technology and what it requires
from Manvia Condutas is also a very interesting challenge.
