ABOITIZ Construction, Inc. announced on Wednesday that it recently completed the development works for the future ecotourism site of Magspeak Nature Park, Inc. in Balamban, Cebu.

“This site development project is a significant milestone to us as we strengthen our capabilities in infrastructure,” Alex P. Garciano, Aboitiz Construction’s vice-president for construction operations, said in an e-mailed statement.

The company said the project includes 630-meter road pavements, concreting sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and improving the drainage system.

“Aboitiz Construction also prepared parking areas, trail paths, and benching of sloping areas to protect people from the soil erosion hazard,” it added.

The company has said it expects completion of various projects this year, including the construction of a 6,000-square-meter warehouse in Iloilo City and a water infrastructure in Batangas.

It is also constructing a warehouse for Therma Visayas, Inc. in Toledo City, Cebu.

The company has started work on its projects in Parañaque City, which include the construction of a 26,000-square-meter warehouse and office buildings.

The company intends to further expand into water and transportation infrastructure, projects for ready-built factories, and maintenance services.

According to the company, among its accomplishments last year was the completion of maintenance and shutdown works at the Sarangani Energy Corp.’s thermal power plant.

Civil works for the expansion of a fuel storage facility in Subic, Zambales and construction works for a local manufacturer and distributor of high-grade oleochemicals in Misamis Oriental were also completed last year. — Arjay L. Balinbin
