Subdivision Infrastructure on Cozumel: streets, networks and drainage for new lots

Lots on Cozumel sell when buyers drive in on a finished street with water, sewer and power ready; we build that infrastructure phase by phase. The municipality of Cozumel issues licences; works on the coastal road and near the reef and mangroves face extra environmental limits, and federal zone rules apply on the shore.

What We Build

Entrance & Amenities

Gatehouse, access control, perimeter wall, parks and clubhouse to complete the project.

Streets & Sidewalks

Asphalt, concrete or paver streets with kerbs, accessible sidewalks, ramps and signage.

Storm Drainage

Inlets, collectors and infiltration wells designed for the street catchment and the karst.

Storm drainage in a development on Cozumel

Streets drain to infiltration wells and the sea, and hurricane rain overwhelms many of them; resizing wells and protecting coastal road edges are frequent needs. The drainage of every street is designed for these conditions and tested before the pavement goes on.

Logistics for infrastructure works on Cozumel

Everything arrives on the cargo ferry from the mainland; hot mix depends on local production on the island, and heavy equipment crossings are planned in advance, which explains the higher location factor. Materials and crews are planned around these constraints so each phase is ready when sales need it.

What gets built on Cozumel

Cozumel needs car parks and internal roads for hotels and the cruise terminals, resurfacing of island streets, access roads to villas and condos, and repair after every hurricane season.

Ground conditions on Cozumel

The island is limestone with thin soil, firm for roads but hard to trench; the coastal areas are sand and coral rock exposed to salt and storm waves.
