In the section between Pueblo Nuevo and the La Palma intake, along approximately 33 km on the left bank of the Zarumilla River, geosynthetic solutions were implemented to mitigate the effects of peak flooding. Two applications were defined depending on the hydraulic conditions: the first with geocells on the slope and geotextile bags in the anti-scour lip, and the second with geotextile bags distributed throughout the slope.

These flexible structures improved resistance to scour and reduced the risk of progressive erosion. The application of geosynthetics provided an efficient and quickly installed solution in a highly vulnerable area.

Within the framework of the Tumbes River Riparian Defenses Project – Package 2, the Authority for Reconstruction with Change (ARCC) developed a strategic intervention in the Corrales Creek by constructing longitudinal and transverse levees, aimed at reducing the risk of flooding due to the creek’s activation. To this end, concrete-filled geocells and Hydrobags were implemented as an anti-scour solution, improving the stability of the hydraulic infrastructure.

This combination of technologies effectively protected more than 24,000 residents and exposed agricultural areas, guaranteeing a robust technical solution adaptable to the area’s geomorphological conditions. Furthermore, the construction efficiency and resilience of the geosynthetics contributed to a safe, long-lasting, and sustainable construction in the face of extreme weather events.

As part of the Tumbes River Riparian Defense Project – Package 2, the Authority for Reconstruction with Changes (ARCC) executed the Riparian Defenses of the La Jardina stream in the Tumbes region. This strategic project included the construction of transverse and longitudinal dikes to protect more than 8,000 residents and vulnerable agricultural areas from potential flooding due to the activation of the stream.

To reinforce slope stability and mitigate the effects of scour, concrete-filled geocells and Hydrobags were used as an anti-scour solution. These geosynthetic solutions offered an efficient and rapidly implemented response in a high-risk hydraulic area.

In response to the risk of flooding in the Ancash region, the National Infrastructure Authority (ANIN) implemented Riverside Defenses on the Casma and Huarmey rivers. This intervention included the construction of longitudinal levees, protecting more than 38,000 residents and large crop areas exposed to potential flooding.

Thus, as part of the technical solution, geocells filled with granular material were implemented to protect slopes. This geosynthetic solution improved riverbank stability, facilitated efficient installation, and offered a sustainable solution compared to traditional construction methods in hydraulically active areas, using locally available materials.
