Impacto financeiro da incompatibilidade entre projetos de pavimentação asfáltica urbana e serviços de manutenção de água e esgoto

Abstract

This paper analyzes the financial impact resulting from the incompatibility between urban asphalt paving projects and water and sewage network maintenance services in the municipality of Crateús-CE. The research quantifies the economic losses to the municipal budget and to the companies responsible for maintenance, considering interventions carried out between 2023 and 2024 on roads paved in 2022 and on other roads. Using georeferencing methodologies, financial data collection and cost composition analysis, it was estimated that the lack of compatibility between the projects resulted in significant financial losses. In the two-year period, 347 interventions were recorded, corresponding to an equivalent area of 11,318.45 m², accumulating a cost of R$ 892,007.04 only with the removal of the pavement. The analysis also revealed that the financial impact was more significant for the companies responsible for maintenance, since the initial calculations considered only the direct costs of removing the asphalt, without covering all stages of the service. For all the roads analyzed, the estimated costs reached R$22,871.21, representing an increase of approximately 130.8% compared to the cost of removing the pavement on the nine roads selected. For the other roads, the total estimated cost of the maintenance service increased by 18.8% compared to the value initially calculated, reaching R$1,086,333.64. It is concluded that the lack of coordination between paving works and sanitation services compromises the durability of the pavement, generates waste of public resources and negatively impacts urban mobility. Therefore, it is recommended that integrated planning be implemented between the sectors involved, aiming to optimize investments in road infrastructure and reduce the need for corrective interventions.
