Selecting the areas to be leveled.

A secured terrain is free from erosion and land sliding in rain seasons.  

A land slide upon an improvised terrain could be extremely dangerous and may cause many casualties.

Terrain being appropriately arranged to support climate adversities.

Let's change Caracas' face

When we talk about lines of access we will pay special attention to the openness of the authorities into the complex sites within the geographical public structure, once it is built, it’s necessary to prevent the formation of physical sites left unfinished such as hidden hollows, holes or places  with difficult or impossible access that later could turn into places for illicit activities or areas able to hideout individuals with criminal intentions, that is why the integrity of the land should be utilized and lit up in full.

On this stage the transportation of soil for the green areas will be brought for later use on gardens, as well as home’s backyards and internal gardens, neighboring green zones, as well as the transportation of all dusts, gravels or construction material to be used.

The Beginning of underground pipelines embedment will start, as well as leveling and asphalting of roads, lifting poles and power lines, establishment of cable cars stations, pipeline and sewer construction, and allocation for hydro pneumatic pumps with pipes traveling to the main water storage tank at the peak of the hill. This phase will have special concern on the water management and the outgoing water from one point to multiple ones and distributed by the action of mechanical force or gravity.
 The water issue has always been a problem for Venezuelan societies living in steep regions, constituting perhaps the most enduring need that has punished the people of the hills, forcing many individuals to even carry out their water tanks bucket by bucket on endless walks from the bottom to the top of the hill.
We are currently living in the 21st century and that does not need to be happening any more, that is why the great importance with no mistake for the flattening of the geologic cap or the hill peak  to  establish  there the hydrographic point of water administration commonly called water tank , this water storage  will be fed by a main pipe  pushing the liquid by the hydro pneumatic pump located at the bottom of the hill and once the water stays up (in the tank) it will go back down the pipes through the entire spectrum, this is called  irrigation by gravity.
At this stage the construction of sidewalks are being done together with designated bus stops and the formwork for future green areas going in compliance with codes for the handicapped and people on wheelchairs, those who are blind, or cane users, linking major roads with underlying pathways and assemble of sewers and roads and physical deployment the irrigation systems (mandatory) that guarantees permanent ornamental greenery, lack of erosion and healthy look.
It is very important to delegate the construction of a mandatory building that will be present in all the projects to be made, a building that indeed must be present in every pilot area and subsequent constructions, this facility is responsible for maintaining and ensuring the endurance and performance of the services, its physical beauty and proper operation during the life time of the compound, that means forever.

This building will be named the Maintenance Association. In this building (medium to big, never small) elements for future use will remain there, as well as everything that shall be changed, renewed or repaired, such as lightning poles, bulbs, cables, tools, blocks, rebar, cement, wooden planks, paints, electrical materials hardware, sewers, posters, gravel, sand and many other materials guarded by an updated inventory of needs, endowed by a government budget. At this building is where people will come to complain and to communicate that certain lighting pole is off, a sidewalk is cracked and needs to be repair or any other thing in need of being fixed. This department (supervised and equipped with capable and properly trained personnel (veterans in their jobs), masonry, carpentry electricity, gardening etc.,  will be responsible for maintaining and be alert about public areas such as gardens, roads, wiring,  lighting and so on, It is extremely important to note that if the chosen staff is incapable to properly operate or does not follow through with their jobs or simply fall into corruption, inactivity, laziness or poor knowledge and performance of their duties shall be liable to be terminated immediately and properly replaced by one able on the waiting list. These facilities will be equipped with a workshop and machineries where electrical work, carpentry, welding, ironworks etc. can be performed, as well as working vehicles which will remain in these facilities and  confined to the site only to perform works within the pilot area. These vehicles can be pickups or trucks, excavators, bulldozers, cement mixers, garbage truck and so on. The jobs performed on site are meant to be of public nature and no personal jobs are allowed on premises and subjected to immediate termination.

At this point the areas of social concern shall be established on the sub-divided maps  including the maintenance association building and all other  locations such as individual houses or complexes  with each of their floor maps well-structured,  marking the connections with water and sewage lines, as well as  electrical linkages, access to main roads and secondary roads (where bus stops are). These maps will contain by now the draining line system by gravity to its destination into the urban sewers and postal districts by numbering (postal demarcation by names is considered obsolete and is not recommended). It is said that the chances of getting lost in a postal area addressed  ​​by names are greater than a demarcation area made ​​by numbers, there are no chances to getting lost in a numbered district because you know that the streets neighboring number three, are the number two, and four, however you don’t known if the “Rodriguez” street comes after the “Sanchez” street. Postal zones addressed by numbers intertwine numbered avenues and streets, leading to the exact point where you want to go, so that when the lighting poles are lifted at the corners, they will comply with the postal demarcation previously set on the postal maps, numbering each and every street and avenue existent on the pilot area. Names can also be used as long as the numbers hold the main importance. (Example: 4th Street (Jose Antonio Paez).  Sidewalk construction and elevated places such as stairs, escalators and entrances to public facilities or clinics etc., must meet building codes for the handicapped or people on wheelchairs, elders, kids or the blind.
Once all specific plans perfectly fit up with the sub-divided plans and also match the broad spectrum plan we have arrived to the conclusion of this stage.

 

NINTH PHASE.

The ninth stage is quite encouraging and fruitful, as you can already see the result of all the efforts made. On this victorious stage we will proceed with the physical construction of housing and social interest sites. Not much you can say about the construction of housing since all  is already determined on previous phases, the building codes of these homes are not in comparison at any moment with  old codes

Improvised terrain is likely to be weak and unreliable.

Flattening the land for further construction.

Hills are flattened for many meanings some are for constructions and some for agriculture.

Homes dangerously placed over changeable terrains.

Loss of human lives occurs every year due to sudden motion of un-prepared terrain.

Hills being prepared for constructions.
