Konstruktion av pipelinebro i Charagua, Bolivia
Guazuigua is a small village in Bolivia, which has had too small water resources, especially for irrigation. A project started after some studies were made, to create a canal to provide the village with water from a nearby town. To make the canal work it had to cross a dried out river. There have been several attempts to cross these dried out rivers, but with poor results. The purpose of the report is to provide a solution for this problem. During the field studies, the project changed direction, and a decision was made to build a well system instead. This proved to be a better solution for the village?s water problem. The report still remained with solving the canal problem. Calculations show that a pipe placed across the dried out river would break down. The report suggests a support construction which resembles a cable stayed bridge, which is build economical and by materials accessible in the area.
