Aboitiz Construction said it secured a new maintenance project for Apo Agua Infrastructura Inc., further contributing to water infrastructure development.
This followed the inauguration of the bulk water supply project of the Davao City Water District (DCWD) and its partner Apo Agua.
The parties held a contract signing in Davao City last month where Aboitiz Construction will oversee maintenance activities for Apo Agua’s water treatment plant, which has a treatment capacity of 300 million liters daily, scheduled for completion within three years.
These activities will encompass comprehensive services aimed at ensuring uninterrupted water supply, optimizing operations, and strategically mitigating risks.
Aboitiz Construction last year secured its first project contract with Apo Agua. It involved preventive maintenance for 45 kilometers of a treated water pipeline network and eight off-take points, including yard piping, valves and appurtenances.
Apo Agua’s water treatment plant treats water for power and supplies it to DCWD reservoirs, showcasing a water-energy nexus.
These services will bolster Davao City’s water infrastructure, meeting the increasing demands of its residents and ensuring the storage of 300 million liters of safe and sustainable water daily.
“It is with great honor to partner again with Apo Agua as they pursue delivering safe and sustainable water to communities. This endeavor underscores our commitment to building for business to prosper and communities to thrive,” said Aboitiz Construction vice president for operations maintenance Alex Garciano.
“We are thrilled to announce the partnership between Aboitiz Construction and Apo Agua. This collaboration epitomizes the synergy within the Aboitiz Group, showcasing our shared commitment to sustainable water management solutions for the communities we serve,” said Apo Agua president Eduardo Aboitiz.
Aboitiz Construction completed several maintenance projects last year, demonstrating its versatility and expertise in the industrial maintenance sector.
The firm finished the waterproofing works for Mactan Cebu International Airport Terminal 1 and completed the repair of the sootblower lance tube for GN Power Dinginin in Mariveles, Bataan.
It also secured a new five-year contract to perform shutdown works for Taganito HPAL Nickel Corp. in Claver, Surigao del Norte and a three-year scaffolding contract with Aboitiz Power Corp.’s Therma Visayas Inc. and Therma South Inc.
