El proyecto consiste en la instalación de más de 4.500 metros de tubería de alcantarillado en tubería de PVC de diferentes diámetros (6, 8, 10, 18 y 21 pulgadas), con las que se harán empalmes a los colectores San Francisco, María Auxiliadora, María Auxiliadora-Tabú y Tabú-Ricaurte.

Las obras contemplan también la interceptación de dos colectores existentes para llevarlos al nuevo sistema, la limpieza de más de 70 metros de redes, también de colectores instalados para ponerlos en servicio, la construcción de dos nuevos colectores y manijas domiciliarias faltantes, la adecuación de cámaras y registros existentes.

Explanation:
colectores are sewers. I think that perhaps it would be best to use connection here, as in: the works will also include a connection with two existing sewers to incorporate them in the new system, or the works will also include connecting two existing sewers to the new system.
