CWE completes Peru's Huaycuro River project, boosting flood control and resident safety. New reinforced banks, a Bailey bridge, and a park enhance daily life. The project created 4,500 jobs, trained locals, and increased riverside activity.

The Comprehensive Management Project of the Huaycuro River in Peru, undertaken by CWE, a subsidiary of CCCC, spans 10.6 kilometers. Its main components include riverbank protection, aqueducts, Bailey bridges, and a landscaped park. Since the project was completed in September 2025, the local disaster prevention and mitigation system has entered a new phase, and residents' sense of well-being and security has been growing steadily. Let's take a look!
Upgrading the River for Safety
The river channel has been completely transformed. Reinforced concrete walls now line both sides, and a specially designed chute along the riverbed has greatly improved flood discharge capacity. "In the past, floods often brought disaster," says Tihelimaya, a local resident. "Now our lives and property are protected, we are truly grateful."
Building Connections for the Community
At the Leticia community park, shaded by trees, a red running trail winds through the green lawn. During construction, the project team designed and built two Bailey bridges, making daily travel much easier for riverside residents. These bridges have strengthened connections between different areas and ensured safer passage for people and goods.
Driving Urban Growth
The project has created more than 4,500 local jobs, provided skills training, and helped develop a cohort of local engineering talent. By introducing Building Information Modeling (BIM) and other advanced methods, the team improved both efficiency and quality. Today, traffic and commercial activity along the riverbanks have visibly increased — a clear sign of the area's growing vitality.
