Project overview
Preparatory phase of the CIGMA Project (Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho Industrial Complex), entrusted to Constructora Vialpa by PDVSA Gas in August 2006. The works include a provisional access road to the Service Dock area: adapting the existing road and constructing the north track of south corridor 2 from the national highway (Troncal 009), along with the preparation of detailed engineering for the road project.
The Challenge
Condition the access infrastructure to the Service Dock during the preparatory phase of an industrial complex of high strategic value for the national energy sector, aligning road engineering with the site's future developments.
Vialpa Scope
Adaptation of the existing road, construction of the north track of south corridor 2 from Troncal 009, provisional access road to the Service Dock and preparation of the detailed engineering for the road project.
Engineering / Construction Approach
Coordinated planning of road engineering with the CIGMA Complex criteria, ensuring compatibility of provisional accesses with the site's definitive industrial developments.
Operational Constraints
Work entrusted in August 2006 by PDVSA Gas, with an initial investment exceeding 18 billion bolívares.
Technical Highlights
- Adaptation of the existing road and construction of the north track of south corridor 2 from the national highway (Troncal 009)
