Ongoing pipelaying activity for the LTE3 Ruhale-Bambang Felix Line 1400mm Project.
Manila Water aims to expand its services to more than 700,000 additional Taguig customers with the construction of the P577 million Long Term East 3 (LTE 3) Ruhale-Bambang Felix Line.
The 3.45-kilometer Ruhale-Bambang Felix Line pipelaying project will pass through the areas of Ruhale M. Natividad, Bambang Felix, DM Cruz, F. Manalo, Bantayan Extension, and Cayetano Boulevard. It will provide potable and continuous water supply to Taguig barangays, namely: Calzada, Hagonoy, Ibayo-Tipas, Napindan, Palingon, Sta. Ana, Tuktukan, Wawa, and Ligi Tipas.
It is projected to convey an additional 200 million liters per day of treated water coming from new water sources to Taguig, Pateros, Pasig, and portions of Paranaque as part of long-term supply augmentation.
For this project, the company is using a conventional open-cut pipelaying methodology with trenchless pipelaying for some segments to minimize its impact on daily road users. Currently, 180 pipes with 1400-millimeter diameters have already been laid along Ruhale to Natividad streets and along Cayetano to Bantayan streets.
