The Argentine Delegation to the Mixed Technical Commission of Salto Grande delivered a new hydraulic crawler excavator to the Entre Ríos Directorate of Hydraulics and Sanitary Works, the second one donated to the province to strengthen its operational capacity in the face of the El Niño phenomenon. The contribution included a truck and a lowboy trailer to facilitate the transport of the machinery to the various intervention points along the Uruguay River coast.
Furthermore, the Entre Ríos Directorate of Hydraulics and Sanitary Works signed an agreement with the Municipality of Concordia, which establishes the allocation of the equipment for the execution of water risk prevention and mitigation works and hydraulic conditioning in sectors of the city of Concordia vulnerable to flooding.
In this context, following the ceremony held at Salto Grande, the excavator was transported directly to the Manzores stream, where it began its first sanitation works.
The event was attended by the Argentine Delegation, represented by its president, Amb. Alejandro Daneri, the vice president, Dr. Pedro Galimberti, and the delegate, Arch. Guillermo Marcone; the director general of Hydraulics and Sanitary Works of Entre Ríos, Eng. Oscar Pintos; the mayor of Concordia, Dr. Francisco Azcué, and the Secretary of Public Works of Concordia, Arch. Fernando Esquibel.
During the event, Daneri highlighted: “With this second excavator and equipment delivered, we continue with the actions to cushion the possible effects of the El Niño phenomenon, as part of a work plan designed and led by Governor Frigerio and his team.” Likewise, he pointed out that “this delivery fulfills a commitment made by the Argentine Delegation to mayor Azcué to advance with the planned works on the Manzores stream, an important intervention for Concordia.”
In turn, Marcone emphasized: “This joint work represents a true satisfaction for Concordia and all its residents. We follow the guidelines established by the governor, aimed at joining efforts and strengthening coordination between the different institutions in the face of the challenges that arise. From our position, we will make available all the tools and resources within our reach, both to support the Municipality and to respond to the needs of the people of Concordia.”
On the other hand, the director general of Hydraulics and Sanitary Works of Entre Ríos, Eng. Oscar Pintos, stated that it was a historic day: “We received an important donation from the Argentine Delegation to the CTM Salto Grande. It is the second piece of equipment, along with a lowboy trailer and a towing truck, that greatly increases our autonomy and work capacity. We continue to consolidate the equipment of the Directorate of Hydraulics, which is made available to the different municipalities to carry out defense and prevention tasks against the El Niño phenomena.”
Meanwhile, mayor Francisco Azcué expressed that: “this is a plan that was already being developed for the intervention of the Manzores. The resources we have are limited and that is why, when we proposed it to the Governor and Ambassador Daneri, they quickly began to manage it. Thanks to that joint work, it was possible for the Argentine Delegation of Salto Grande to purchase this machinery, and the province made the decision to give it to us so that we can carry out this work, which will have a positive impact on our city.”
The new 22.8-ton crawler-mounted excavator allows for cleaning, maintenance, and adaptation tasks of watercourses, even in difficult-to-access terrain, facilitating drainage and contributing to reducing the impact of potential floods.
