why Isla Mujeres?

Isla Mujeres is a safe and a tranquil place. It has a unique and natural charm that only a Caribbean Island can have. Within a few hours of arriving you feel at home in a paceful community that unites not only Mexicans from all different states, but also Americans, Canadians, Europeans, and many other nationalities. Twelve thousand inhabitants from all around the world all share something in common: a profund love for this little Caribbean Mexican Island.

For years, Isla Mujeres was a strategic place for many, whether it was pirates, merchants or fishermen. Today it is even more so because it is centrally located and only a few hours from golf courses, archeological sites, Cancun's nightlife, the European shopping of Playa del Carmen, the rich Meridean culture, scuba diving (one of the sites is the second largest coral reef in the world) and fishing. The list is ongoing and the possibilities are endless. Regardless, the island continues to maintain its paceful and relaxing atmosphere, something difficult to find in the neighboring tourist destinations.

In recenr years, tourism has grown on Isla Mujeres because tourist as well as investors has discovered the island as the perfect hidaway to relax, rest, return to nature, and discover rich Mexican and International culinary delights. The isalnd stands by itself and yet at the same time is connected to all the comforts and atttractions that surround it. After an only fifteen minute boat ride from Cancun you totally retreat from any stress and begin to enjoy the bohemian rhythm of the island.

Without a doubt, Isla Mujeres most valuable treasures are its turqouise, crystal-claer waters, fascinating marine life, and white sands that set the stage for spectacular sunsets that seem to come straight out of farytales. The North Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean and fortunate are the ones who have their view on to it. Ambitious projects are underway to support the development of Isla Mujeres and among them is the pedestrian zone in the center part of Isla Mujeres, the remodeling of Mundaca Park and the Turtle Farm.

Isla Mujeres is a diamond that has been found and is in the polishing process so that its gradeur and full splendor can shine through. It is a privilige to be spectator of such an evolution.

Installations

In general, the system operates from a common double unit of cold water that serves the whole building as well as the coil and fan systems in each apartment. There are independent fan and coil system for the dining room, and kitchen, master and second bedrooms.

Hydraulic system
Drinkable water will be taken from the municipal system via a 1.5 inches tube in diameter that will be filtered using a reverse osmosis palnt. This will not only provide for the necessities of the whole building but it will also serve in case of an absence of drinking water for up to two days, plus a reserve that is kept for fire emergencies. A two pump system will be installed with a pressurized tank. These will be placed on the same level as the cisterns.

Fire Emergency system
It was calculated that the network will use three fire hydrants simultaneously. A pricipal tank will be installed with an electrical pump motor as well as an internal diesel combustion water pump with similar characteristics to those of the principal cistern.

Sanitary Installations
The idea is that sanitary waste system will remove water from the property as quicky and in the most sanitary way possible and direct it to its according sewer.
Residual water will pass through a ventilated system that will allow gases to breathe yet won't allow the contaminated waters to escape. For each outlet of sewer water, there will be a ventilated column 2 inches in diameter.

Electrical Installation
The powerhouse will ration the electricity in 3 phases and three threads at 23kv or similar depending on the capacity of the company. The total installed electrical charge will be delivered via a transformer. A principal and a secondary electrical control will be placed in the electrical substation according to where they will send electricity to.

There will be an emergency energy electrical diesel generator located in the machine room in the case of electrical outage. In such a case, the fire alarm and sprinkler system will take precedence, them the hydraulies system, one elevator, exterior lightings on each of the floors. This emergency plan will also function in each of the apartments.
The desing of electrical installation, lighting and outlets will use the most efficient equipment to guarantee comfortable levels of light in each of the areas.
