Initial situation

Las Ceibas river is in the Huila department at the center of the country and is the main water provider to department capital's distribution system. During the rainy seasons debris and avalanche flows are triggered. These phenomena fed by the blocks and soil placed in the riverbank, put in danger nearby populations and the city's distribution system.

Description

WARCO proposed a series of debris flow barriers with an accumulated retention capacity of 25'000 m³. The first barrier installed in 2018 has a length of 56 meters and a height of 6 meters.

Note: More barriers were installed in 2019 and in 2020.
