			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Project Name</strong>: Proposed 250mm Ø Sewer Line along Taft Ave. cor. Quirino Ave. Manila<br />
<strong>Date</strong>: October-December 2009.<br />
<strong>Client</strong>: Maynilad</p>
<p>The project was to install a 250mm Ø PVC Sewer Line just beside the LRT Quirino Station, on the northbound lane of Taft Avenue. The size of the steel casing is 500mm Ø, and the depth of the work was about 4.5m below the surface. The project was difficult because it was grade-sensitive. The procedure done was to first use a pilot drill, and then attached to it was the 500mm Ø steel casing so it would follow the line and grade done by the initial drill. The hole that was supposed to drill should have an inclination in such a way that the water would flow from one side to another; it was challenging, but the sewer line was installed successfully in the end. This contract was done October to December 2009.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Project Name</strong>: Pipe jacking works of 2300mm Ø Steel Casing for the MWSI- 2000 mm Ø Dedicated Line to Pasay Pumping Station, located along P. Ocampo Street crossing Taft Avenue, Manila.<br />
<strong>Date</strong>: February 2009.<br />
<strong>Client</strong>: Maynilad</p>
<p>This project is a pipe-jacking work of 2300mm Ø Steel Casing that crossed Taft Ave. in P. Ocampo St. near Vito Cruz LRT Station. This is a part of Maynilad pipe-laying project that will supply water to the Pasay Pumping station. The contract package 1 of was secured by A. A. Alarilla Construction Co., Inc. and the Taft Avenue crossing portion subcontracted to Microtunnelling Const. Tech. Originally the length of the tunnelling was only 33 meters, but because of the underground obstructions, it was extended to 90 meters. The project was completed February 2009. By employing trenchless tunnelling work, the traffic flow along the busy area in Taft Avenue was undisturbed.</p>
