CFE 60,000 kVA Substation

One of the interesting facts about Monterrey Technology Park is that it is poised to become the energy nucleus for the entire northwest part of the Monterrey metropolitan area, specifically the Cienega de Flores region and its surrounding smaller towns. The reason for this is that a new power line, which is already being erected, will stretch across the Salinas Victoria municipality and will land at the MTP's electric substation for subsequent distribution at lower voltage. All resident companies and newcomers will benefit from an even better quality of electric power being that the substation will ultimately supply the entire park grid. It is also worthy of mention that the park's substation was built with a long-term vision. For this reason our power plant is modular, which means it will have the capacity of doubling its capacity to 30,000 kVA's in the next few years should the demand for energy continue to increase.

Well Water and Water Storage Tanks

The Park currently operates a total of six ground water wells which can supply up to 40 liters per second. However, the park's current usage is at about 5 liters per second which means there is a vast reserve of available ground water for newcomers. The park itself does not pre-treat the groundwater mainly because not all companies require that the water be pre-treated. Each resident company has its own specialized treatment process. The park also has two water storage tanks that can together store a total of 300 cubic meters of water. This reserve can satisfy approximately two days of water demand considering the park's current water usage.

Sanitary Water Treatment Plant

The park's treatment plant was built on a modular platform. There is currently one reactor which has the capacity to receive an inflow of up to 5 liters per second. This plant is specifically designed to treat sanitary water discharges which cover both bathroom and kitchen discharges from all the residents. All companies that generate waste water from an industrial process and that must discharge this water outside their facility must treat the water before discharging it towards the Park's storm drainage canal located along the center of the medians.

Telephone Network

The park boasts an internal Telmex line concentrator with up to 8000 available phone lines. There is also infrastructure available for the installation and operation of fiber optic technology.

ATM for Public and Private Use

One of the more recent additions to our infrastructure is a new ATM booth located on the main avenue. One of the main reasons this service came to be installed was the need and desire from several of the resident companies in wanting to handle their worker wage payments through an ATM, thus avoiding the handling of large amounts of cash. The bank which endorses the ATM is Banorte which is currently the largest domestic bank operating in Monterrey. Therefore the benefit is that the ATM can be accessed by anyone, which makes it both a valuable HR amenity and also a public service plus.

Landscaping and Irrigation System

In order to further develop an existing semi-arid landscape, the park has used native plants and grass that do not generate additional maintenance costs, to beautify the common green areas. The park also has its own irrigation system which reutilizes the treated water from the treatment facility, thus eliminating additional water consumption costs for the park and its residents.
