This Torreta Florida lamination pond has a water storage capacity of approximately 9,000 m3, and its design has met the proposed objective. To enhance and improve the use of this space when there are no rain events, the installation of a skate park or area has been designed, which will be made up of several prefabricated concrete modules.
