Bolivarian Government activates Integral Ecosocialist Plan to process rubble in La Guaira

The National Government activated the Comprehensive Ecosocialist Management Plan with the objective of solving the logistical and environmental challenge derived from structural damage in the state of La Guaira. This initiative is designed for the management, processing and final disposal of more than 1,248 million tons of debris accumulated in the state following recent earthquakes.

The information was provided by the sector vice-president of Public Works and Services, Juan José Ramírez Luces, who explained that, after a rigorous evaluation of technical, environmental and social criteria, 11 strategic locations were arranged on the axis between Catia La Mar and Carmen de Uria. These collection and treatment centers have a combined operating capacity of more than 29,000 tons per day.

The comprehensive management scheme includes three fundamental phases to ensure sustainable waste treatment:

Classification: The protocol begins with the separation and selection of materials directly at the source of the waste.

Processing: Specialized heavy machinery is used for the crushing and technical separation of hazardous, recyclable and aggregated components.

Circular Economy: Crushed concrete and inputs will be immediately reused as a basis for road rehabilitation, while metal components will be recycled under a sustainable approach to resource use.

As a guiding principle, the plan establishes an absolute ban on the dumping of materials at sea, in strict compliance with the London Convention of 1972 and taking as a reference the lessons learned during the institutional management of the Vargas tragedy in 1999.

For this reason, the authorities prioritize processing on land, evaluating critical variables such as distance to areas under environmental protection, flood risk, proximity to health centers and local road capacity, with the fundamental purpose of safeguarding the coastal ecosystems of the central coast.
