MISAMIS ORIENTAL - The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said it has constructed a P29-million revetment wall at the Dangoan River further reinforcing Medina town’s flood control system.
A revetment wall is a permanent structure designed to prevent the types of subsidence that commonly occur adjacent to waterways and the ocean. By definition, it is a protective covering on an embankment of earth designed to maintain the slope or to protect it from erosion.
Complete with earthworks, sub-base and base courses, drainage, and slope protection structure, among others, the wall will serve as protection to nearby residences, businesses, and properties in the area from flooding.
In addition to the wall, a project contract worth P75 million is currently ongoing for the continuation of the revetment project which covers the upstream portion of the river. (Mindanao Examiner)
