PROJECT MONITORING SYSTEM COORDINATION MEETING HELD |
Top |
| |
 The Department of Public Works and Highways Regional Office I under Regional Director Fidel D. Ginez has conducted a meeting on Project Monitoring System (PMS) on August 13 and 14, 2008 at the DPWH Regional Office I Conference Room. The meeting focused on accurate and consistent project reporting to obtain a more reliable database of DPWH Infrastructure Projects.
Participants of the meeting included the Construction and Maintenance Engineers, Accountant, Bids and Awards Committee Chairman and Secretariat, and Monitoring Engineers of the DPWH Regional and District Engineering Offices. The two-day meeting was divided for Pangasinan Area for the first day and the Ilocos including La Union and Regional Office for the second day.
The discussion identified the problem and formulated the corresponding solutions for timely submission of reports. In the resulting end, it will eventually strengthen existing procedures in reporting and establish the system for newly required reports to facilitate processing.
The PMS reports are computerized monthly reports submitted by implementing offices (Regional and District Engineering Offices) to the Bureau of Construction (BOC). They are based from the status of projects identified and downloaded from Project Identification Programming System. The system is based on established procedures to ensure that the actual picture of accomplishment status submitted by the implementing offices is accurately projected in the consolidated BOC report. |

DPWH INAUGURATES PANTAL BRIDGE IN DAGUPAN CITY |
Top |
| |
 DPWH Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane, Jr. representing Her Excellency President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo led officials and guests in the inauguration ceremonies of Pantal Bridge in Dagupan City. Also in attendance are the Guest of Honor, His Excellency Makoto Katsura, Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines, Mayor Alipio F. Fernandez, Jr. of the host city, DPWH Undersecretaries Ramon Aquino and Rafael Yabut, DPWH Regional Director Fidel Ginez, DPWH-UBCPRD Project Director Emil K. Sadain and other city officials. Pantal Bridge was completed last March 31, 2008, 6 months ahead of schedule and was implemented by the Urgent Bridges Construction Project for Rural Development-Project Management Office (UBCPRD-PMO) of the DPWH with funding assistance from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC).
Also included in the inauguration was the Dawel-Pantal-Lucao Diversion Road which was implemented by the DPWH Region I through local funds from the PDAF of Congressman Jose De Venecia, Jr. This 4.157 km. diversion road will be linked by the Pantal Bridge to ease the traffic in this city traditionally known for its bangus industry but is fast becoming the central business district in Western Luzon.
The Pantal Bridge which will connect the Diversion road (Brgy. Pantal to Brgy. Poblacion Oeste) consists of 355 meter, 7-span continuous steel two-I girder with composite concrete deck slab, single span 25 meter-steel H-beam with concrete deck slab, reinforced concrete wall type pier, and reversed T-type abutments supported on steel pipe pile foundations.
The approach road at the Pantal side (Approach A) is 180 meters long, 2 lanes Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP), with 23 cm. thick. While the approach road at the Poblacion Oeste side (Approach B) is 240 meters long PCCP with the same thickness. There is also a side ramp in the Poblacion-Oeste side measuring 583.25 meters long made of PCCP that serves as transition grade for vehicles coming from A.B. Fernandez Ave. going to De Venecia Highway and vice-versa.
It may be recalled that on August 9, 2006, no less than the President herself Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo together with the Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines led the groundbreaking ceremony for this bridge.
Originally scheduled for completion in September of this year, the early commissioning of this long-awaited bridge will bring a whiff of fresh-air to the motorists and traders this summer as they comfortably traverse this new route.
The Pantal Bridge is the centrepiece of the on-going Contract Package III of the UBCPRD. It is among the 64 bridges planned for construction under this contract package including 27 bridges in Region IV-A, 25 in Region IV-B and 11 in Region V. This early, UBCPRD Project Director Emil K. Sadain reported that there are already 30 bridges completed. All 6 bridges in Alabat Island in Quezon Province, 6 bridges in Mindoro Occidental, 13 in Mindoro Oriental, 3 in Batangas and 1 in Bicol. |
