Authorities Analyze Crack on Mexico City Avenue, Citing Multiple Causes

A significant crack has appeared on Loreto Fabela Avenue in Mexico City's Gustavo A. Madero borough, prompting an analysis by the Secretariat of Integral Risk and Civil Protection (SGIRPC), the Secretariat of Integral Water Management (Segiagua), and the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

The SGIRPC stated that the crack is not due to a single cause. Instead, it results from a combination of natural site characteristics. These include the area's lacustrine subsoil, gradual land subsidence, and its susceptibility to flooding, as previously noted by Segiagua.

During a joint inspection, officials also addressed water leaks in the vicinity. Dr. Silvia García from UNAM's Institute of Engineering accompanied the SGIRPC's Risk Analysis Directorate in examining the crack. The goal is to determine the necessary risk mitigation and repair actions for the affected zone.

In close coordination with SEGIAGUA and Sobse, accompanied by Dr. Silvia García from the Institute of Engineering of @UNAM_MX, we conducted a tour of Av. Loreto Fabela in the Gustavo A. Madero Mayor's Office, where water leaks were attended to and a crack appeared, which is being analyzed with the objective of defining the risk mitigation and repair actions that will be implemented in the area.
