Implementing Project Infrastructure in "Low" – Adduction and Reserve Water Supply of Subsystems of Lumiares, Vilar and Balsemão Municipalities of , , Tabuaço, , , and Resende,

Infrastructures Description:

The engineering design projects include:

Vilar Water Supply Sub-system

The work includes the engineering design of 85 reservoirs, 7 pumping stations and 208 km of conduct pipelines. This subsystem will be supplied from the superficial catchment located at Vilar’s Dam, in Távora River and will serve a estimated population of 29.062 inhabitants, in the project’s horizon (2040).

Lumiares Water Supply Sub-System

The work includes the engineering design of 28 reservoirs, 2 pumping stations and 50 km of conduct pipelines. This subsystem will be supplied through the underground catchment and will serve the population from Armamar, Lamego and Tarouca.

Balsemão Water Supply Sub-System

The work includes the engineering design of 83 reservoirs, 2 pumping stations and 108 km of conduct pipelines. This subsystem will be supplied from the superficial catchement of Balsemão’s Dam, in Balsemão River and will serve the population of Lamego, Resende, Tarouca, Armamar, Castro D’Aire, and Cinfães.

Rendering of Services Description:

The project hired provides for the design of the necessary infrastructure for water supply "downwards” to the Municipalities which include the areas of supply Systems “on high” of Vilar, Lumiares and Balsemão.

Therefore, it was necessary to investigate locally the current situation at the level of reliability and quality of service, when this exists, and the interconnection of these systems with the water supply system "on high". The basic data were collected and were made visits to locations for definition of reserving the best locations to cover the largest number of population served and provide appropriate services pressures systems for everyday consumption.

Thus was developed the preliminary study of each of the “downwards” systems, as part of a General Conception Study regarding the interconnection of these systems with the Water Supply System “on high”.

The developed Studies were materialized in Execution Projects which include Reservoirs, Gravitical and elevated conduct pipelines and Pumping Stations, with their respective budget calculation and the preparation of Tender documents.
