The new Doña Inés rolling pond and flood park will be completed next month. This new infrastructure built to relieve flooding in the Doña Inés urbanisation is located close to Aquopolis Torrevieja.
The work has been carried out to mitigate the effects of torrential rains, not only in Doña Inés, but also in the Casa Grande industrial estate and the area around Avenida de las Cortes Valencianas.
The new pond quadruples the capacity of the previous one and will be able to store up to 14,000 cubic meters. The overall budget amounts to 570,505 euros (VAT included). The initial execution period was five months, meaning the work should have been completed at the end of last year, however, all that remains is the concreting of the bottom and waterproofing of the breakwaters to prevent leaks.
In addition, an irrigation network has been installed and planting and gardening tasks are being carried out to improve the aesthetics of the area, as well as equipping the entire complex with benches and a pipican area. To protect the area, an ecological fence will be placed on the west side, made up of wooden logs embedded in a concrete base, with a sliding access door.
