The works, promoted by the Education Department of the Arrecife City Council, led by Abigail González, aim to address previous incidents where facilities suffered flooding due to heavy rainfall.
The intervention involved the installation of a large closing system, specifically designed to prevent water entry at the main access and improve the overall safety of the educational center. This technical solution was commissioned to a specialized company and manufactured outside Spain, as no similar model exists on the market.
“"From the Department, we are listening to and addressing the needs of Arrecife's schools. In the case of La Destila, the situation was particularly delicate and required an immediate technical solution. That's why this anti-flood gate has been installed, custom-made for this space, with the aim of protecting the center and providing peace of mind to the management team, teachers, students, and families."
This action is part of the continuous efforts by the Education Department to maintain and improve the municipality's educational centers. The priority is focused on incidents that directly affect the normal functioning of classrooms and the safety of students and staff.
