Abstract

In the framework of the proyect “Proyecto Eolico Minas de Huascachaca” promoted by ELECAUSTRO S.A., which carries forward, within its social responsibility policy, the execution of projects that promote the sustainable development of local communities. This study seeks to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of the communities of Uchucay, Sumaypamba and beaches of Sumaypamba. These communities have based their economy on the cultivation of agricultural products along the time. Improving their connectivity, we will see a better outlet of the products grown, through 6,50 km. of roads that connect them. This project was developed in different and ordered stages. First step was the topographical measurement with a strip of 15,00 meters on each side of the current axis, referencing the project every 500,00 m. The geometric design study bases its design on the current regulations in force MTOP-2003, classifying the road as a category IV collector and mountainous terrain with a total width of 6.00 meters with gutters of 0,60 centimeters. An asphalt concrete wearing course of 3,00 inches, a Base II course of 15,00 centimeters, a Sub-Base II course of 25,00 centimeters, and an Sub-Base course of 35,00 centimeters were determined. It has been planned that in this structure at the end of 10 years, a rehabilitation will be carried out with league irrigation and 6,00 cm of asphalt layer.
