Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) turned over to the Philippine Navy the completed naval detachment in Casiguran, Aurora.
Implemented by Aurora District Engineering Office, new facilities were built in a 5,362.50-square meter area.
“The complex has a typhoon resilient main building with complete amenities, a radio room, and armory,” District Engineer Roderick Andal said.
Moreover, two units of 40-footer container vans were converted into navy personnel barracks.
There are also four units of toilets, four units of shower stalls, four units of guard houses, a sewage treatment plant and perimeter fence.
“To ensure the convenience of the naval personnel who will use these facilities, a 100 KVA generator, reliable water source, and solar panels with batteries as alternative source of energy were also installed,” Andal furthered.
DPWH earmarked P36.63 million for the project that is expected to beef up security in the Philippine Rise.
