Consisting of a two-lane low-level route for heavy vehicles plus two surface-level connector roads for urban traffic, the Uchumayo Motorway project<\/a>\u00a0was initially designed to be built with conventional reinforced concrete walls. By proposing an alternative solution based on the use of TechWall\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0prefabricated walls with counterforts, Geoquest Peru<\/a>\u00a0generated both time and budget savings, since the cost of the reinforced concrete walls had considerable impact on the overall project.<\/p>\n

The project was divided into three phases. The entire three-phase project involves the installation of more than 45,000 m2 of walls. To date, sections I and III have been completed for a total of nearly 20,000 m2\u00a0of TechWall\u00ae walls, with the remaining section II scheduled for completion during 2018.<\/p>\n

For this task Geoquest made use of a prefabrication plant located in Arequipa less than 5 kilometres from the project site. The plant was fitted out with the work trains required to maintain output in accordance with the project requirements.<\/p>\n

Arequipa is Peru\u2019s second-largest city with a population of approximately 1.3 million. The new Variante de Uchumayo Motorway, main access road into Arequipa, is being constructed by the Arequipa Regional Government to address the long-standing traffic jams that drivers face when entering the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>
