CAGAYAN – A flood control project that would provide security to communities in Solana town from river floods during heavy rains and tropical typhoons is nearing completion, the Department of Public Works and Highways-Cagayan reported.
The DPWH-Cagayan Third District Engineering Office (DPWH-CTDEO) said the construction has reached 65 percent in actual accomplishment.
Officer-in-Charge (OIC) District Engineer Mariano B. Malupeng said the structure will serve as a barrier from raging waters to prevent soil erosion, and landslides during storm or ordinary rains.
The facility will also serve as a recreational site for the constituents of Barangay Natappian.
With a budget of P91.5 million, the flood control project involves 390-linear meter with 200-millimeter-thick concrete slope, steel sheet piles and spur dikes.
