The first phase of repairs on a crater that displaced 156 residents in São José dos Campos is set to last approximately 10 days and involves using stones to fill the opening.
In São José dos Campos, the excavation of a crater in the Jardim Imperial neighborhood has left 156 residents displaced. The first phase of repairs, focusing on the filling of the crater with stones, began on Wednesday, October 11, and is expected to last about 10 days. The local authorities, specifically the Urbanizadora Municipal (Urbam), are handling this urgent project which addresses the immediate need to stabilize the area and allow displaced residents to return home.
The repair operation is organized into three phases, though specific timeframes for the subsequent phases have not yet been announced. The city's plans estimate that around 2,000 cubic meters of stones will be needed to successfully close the two craters, with logistics requiring approximately 134 truckloads of materials. This indicates a significant logistical challenge for the municipality as they work to mitigate the issues caused by the adverse geological conditions in this urban area.
The municipal administration assures that after the completion of this first phase, the affected residents will have the opportunity to return to their homes. This situation reflects not only the immediate exigencies of infrastructure repair but also the broader implications for community safety and urban planning in São José dos Campos, as authorities strive to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
