The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said on Tuesday it has completed the P36.63-million development of new facilities for the Philippine Navy’s operations in Casiguran, Aurora.
Public Works Secretary Roger G. Mercado said the Naval Installations and Facilities-Northern Luzon involves the construction of a naval detachment complex, which is composed of the following: “a typhoon resilient main building with complete amenities, a radio room, and armory, all situated in a 5,362.50-square-meter space.”
It also includes eight units of 20-footer and two units of 40-footer container vans converted into Navy personnel barracks with four units of toilets and four units of shower stalls, four units of guard houses, a sewage treatment plant, and perimeter fence.
The barracks are also equipped with a 100-KVA generator, a reliable water source, and solar panels with batteries as alternative source of energy.
“The completion of these naval facilities is a testament of how the DPWH is steadfast in supporting the further strengthening of our national security by providing quality infrastructure for the utilization of our uniformed brothers and sisters,” Mercado said.
