P44-M Flood Control Structure Protects Farming Town in Nueva Ecija
A 295-meter flood control structure was completed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Barangay Sibut, San Jose, Nueva Ecija.
Citing a report from DPWH Regional Office 3 (DPWH-RO3) Director Roseller A. Tolentino, DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan said that the P44-million flood control structure built along Talavera River is a concrete protection wall with a steel sheet pile foundation.
Spur dikes were also installed along the length of the concrete protection wall to help further divert floodwaters away from the river banks.
