The municipal company has put out to tender the work of the EBAR that will be located on land in the Free Trade Zone, very close to the old Altadis
The new station, framed in the general improvement of infrastructure for industrial development included in the Protocol signed with the Cádiz City Council, will serve the needs of the outer industrial estate.
The Free Trade Zone of Cádiz has granted the municipal company Aguas de Cádiz the requested authorization to proceed with the occupation of the land to carry out the necessary works for the construction of the new Wastewater Pumping Station (EBAR) that will be located in the interior area, very close to the land of the old Altadis.
In fact, the municipal company has put out to tender this week the work for the construction of this new EBAR. The work is made up of two main units, constructively independent: on the one hand, the pumping station consisting of an underground reinforced concrete work that will house the two pumps and all auxiliary installations. On the other hand, the delivery pipe, which is made up of a ductile iron pipe buried in a trench of about 90 meters.
The action, which according to the Aguas de Cádiz website has a completion period of 9 months, will affect the area where it will be located, specifically the confluence of Austria and Portugal streets in the interior, as well as the Surveillance Roundabout, transit areas for all types of vehicles, especially trucks, whose circulation will be minimally affected during the period in which the work is in progress.
The new station will serve the needs of the northern sector of the outer industrial estate of the Free Trade Zone and the urban development planned for this area with important actions underway such as the former Ibérica Aga, where the Base Zone innovation and technological expansion center will be based with the blue economy incubator subsidized by Feder Funds, or Pastoriza and which will serve as a reference for the rest of the industrial estate.
This action is one of the first steps that crystallize the Protocol signed at the end of October between the Free Trade Zone and the Cádiz City Council, which contemplates the general improvement of infrastructure for the promotion and modernization of the city's industrial land, especially affecting the outer industrial area of the Free Trade Zone. The protocol includes the development of modern and effective infrastructures to cover the industrial development of Cádiz, for which the Consortium will make a global investment in the coming years estimated at 39.4 million euros for the outdoor industrial estate and the fiscal precinct, mainly on the land of the old Altadis.
Recently, the Free Trade Zone of Cádiz has made improvements to the hydraulic infrastructure and has incorporated a new water quality monitoring system into its network in the interior area so that its salinity is continuously controlled, which is detrimental to the subsequent purification process. It is a computer application that measures the indicated parameters in real time and sends them to the Aguas de Cádiz system to be able to act if the indicators are altered.
The improvement actions include carrying out an environmental audit, installing probes in the pumping stations and sample manholes that allow parameters to be monitored, and the separating network has been reinforced to prevent leaks that increase salinity, which is the main problem of the facility.
