Tender for protection intervention in Ribeira dos Flamengos on Faial Island open
The opening notice of the public tender for the protection works on the right bank of Ribeira dos Flamengos (stream), located near Rua do Cantinho on Faial Island, was published today in the Official Journal.
With an investment of around 250 thousand Euros and a completion period of six months, the contract work aims to ensure the protection of the right bank, following a landslide that affected the stability of Rua do Cantinho in the village of Flamengos.
The intervention includes the construction of retaining walls on the bank of the stream, support walls as well as series of hydraulic works to prevent the destabilisation and sediment scouring in the embankment adjacent to the stream.
Under this contract work, the Government will carry out the repaving of Rua do Cantinho in the intervention area to correct some deficiencies on the pavement.
This contract work to be implemented by the Regional Secretariat Energy, Environment and Tourism, through the Regional Directorate for the Environment, is part of a wide range of investments in the maintenance and upgrading of the extensive hydrographic system of the Azores; the latter covers 7,000 kilometres of lines water spread over 700 hydrographic basins.
