GranSol: the subdivision nobody could get received

62 finished affordable homes, streets accepted by the Municipality… and a water system AyA had never received. This is the story of how the impossible file got unblocked.

The starting point

A finished project that couldn't be handed over

The Gran Sol I subdivision existed: 62 affordable homes, curbed streets, lighting, even the tank built. The Municipality of Esparza had accepted the streets. But the potable water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage works had never been received by AyA.

Without that reception there was no definitive regularization: the project bond remained withheld at the Municipality, and 62 families depended on infrastructure that, officially, did not exist for the operator that was supposed to receive and run it.

The real challenge

Proving what is already buried

Getting a new network received is straightforward: it is inspected as it is built. Getting a network someone else built and buried years earlier received is another matter: you must demonstrate, with technical evidence, that what cannot be seen meets AyA's standard — materials, pipe-wall thickness, alignments, pressures.

That was the knot keeping the file stuck. RAM took on what nobody else had wanted to: uncovering, verifying, and documenting the existing 1,347 meters of 150 mm PVC network, backing its quality with pipe-wall report ICO-2036-2025.

The intervention

Fix, document, and coordinate everyone

With the diagnosis in hand came the engineering: correcting the points that failed, valves and hydrants to standard, and the complete documentary reconstruction of the project — plans, calculation reports, and APC-CFIA permitting (code 1151013).

In parallel, the case management these files demand: constant coordination with AyA, the developers, and the board, including the sanitary sewer exemption before AyA's Environmental Unit — the filing that avoided an unnecessary investment and made reception viable.

The final test

The day the water proved its pressure

Reception is earned with tests, not words: a hydrant test before the inspectors, pressure verification, and inspection walkthroughs with AyA over every component of the system.

The result: infrastructure received to AyA's satisfaction, with no pending observations, and the project bond released by the Municipality of Esparza. What had been stuck for years was resolved with method: technical evidence, a flawless file, and institutional management.

We did what nobody had managed to do

Regularizing already-built infrastructure is harder than building from scratch — and it is exactly the kind of case where RAM makes the difference. If your project has works no operator wants to receive, we already know how to unblock it.
