REHABILITATION of the damaged Bustos Dam in Bulacan has been approved for repairs under warranty, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) said.

In a statement Sunday, NIA said a coffer dam will be constructed as a temporary replacement for the damaged Rubber Bladder in Bustos Dam’s Bay No. 5.

The NIA said the construction of the coffer dam will be executed by the consortium of ITP Construction, Inc. and Guangxi Hydroelectric Construction Bureau Co. Ltd.

NIA inspected Bustos Dam on May 13.

It said the contractor has completed all preparatory works to repair the dam’s rubber bladder.

The Notice to Commence Work was issued to the contractor after NIA approved the plans from the Regional Office.

The dam’s damaged rubber bladder is covered by the contractor’s 20-year warranty policy which is in force until 2037. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave
