On February 19, 2021, Jiandao.com learned from China Railway Construction that the Cagayan River Dredging Project, a civilian livelihood project in the Philippines, has been officially launched. China Railway Construction Industry Shanghai Investment Co., Ltd. is the general lead unit of the project, and China Railway 21st Bureau Group is the general contractor of construction.

Work hard to promote development

It is understood that the amount of the project undertaken by China Railway 21st Bureau Group this time is 1.45 US dollars, the dredging length is 30 kilometers, and the first phase is about 16 kilometers. In terms of environmental protection, the project has passed the review and approval of the Philippine Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the overall construction plan will be designed in accordance with strict ecological protection standards.

According to the plan, the implementation of the project will not only reduce the economic losses caused by floods, but also increase river channel capacity, restore port functions, open local agricultural export channels, and enhance the circulation capacity of the northern Philippines market.

It is worth mentioning that, in the context of the shortage of high-quality river sand resources in the multinational market, the river sand obtained by dredging the river is also of great economic value. Although the project is still in the start-up period, the project party has received many sales orders for river sand

China Railway Construction Industry stated that although the new crown pneumonia epidemic has increased the difficulty of the project, the project has successfully overcome the impact of the epidemic by formulating epidemic prevention guidelines, strict management, and adopting closed-loop operation methods to step up contact with employees for vaccination. Construction started smoothly. Editor/Tian Zengpeng
