Projects announced during the 3D Caravan include a R$ 116 million project on the Taioca stream, cleaning of 4.95 kilometers of the Tamanduateí River, and actions to reduce flooding in cities of the Greater ABC

The São Paulo Government announced drainage and desilting projects for the Greater ABC during the 3D Caravan this Thursday (14), with actions aimed at managing urban stormwater and reducing flooding in the region.

The qualification in the Investment Partnerships Program (PPI) will cover Diadema, Mauá, Ribeirão Pires, Rio Grande da Serra, Santo André, São Bernardo do Campo, and São Caetano do Sul, considering projects in development.

Among them is the Taioca Corridor Project Phase 1, in Santo André, with an estimated investment of R$ 116 million. The proposal includes channeling the Taioca stream, macro and micro drainage works, and integrated green infrastructure.

Drainage in the Taioca stream will serve 45 thousand residents

The drainage project of the Taioca stream addresses Santo André’s demand to tackle the historical water vulnerability of the watercourse. The intervention aims to reduce flooding risks and improve roads with direct benefits to the population.

The works are expected to reach Jardim Stella, Jardim Cristiane, Jardim Las Vegas, and Jardim Alvorada, benefiting about 45 thousand residents. Also considered in the PPI are interventions planned in macro and micro drainage studies and plans.

Among the bases mentioned are UniversalizaSP, PDMAT 3, and the Regional Macro and Micro Drainage Plan of the Greater ABC. The hiring will be defined by the studies.

Tamanduateí River will have cleaning and desilting

The hiring for cleaning, unclogging, and desilting of the Tamanduateí River in Santo André was also authorized by SP Águas. The planned investment is R$ 30.3 million.

The intervention will be carried out between Avenida André Ramalho and Avenida da Paz, over 4,950 meters. The estimate is to remove 118.7 thousand cubic meters of accumulated sediments.

The service will be done by mechanized excavation, through access roads and banks. The measure aims to increase flow, reduce flooding, and strengthen resilience to extreme weather events.

3D Caravan brought announcements to the Greater ABC

The 3D Caravan travels through São Paulo regions with public policies based on development, dignity, and dialogue, seeking to strengthen coordination with municipalities through local visits and announcements.

In the Greater ABC, the initiative focused on announcements related to infrastructure and local needs. The package included drainage, desilting, and stormwater management.
