Ceremonial Track-laying for LRT Line 2- East Extension Project Package 3
Marubeni Corporation (hereinafter "Marubeni")
and D.M Consunji, Inc. (hereinafter "DMCI"), one of the largest engineering-based
construction companies in the Philippines, have been awarded the Manila LRT
Line 2 East Extension Project, an electrical and mechanical (hereinafter
"E&M") package for a 4km railway system extension with 2 additional
stations eastwards (hereinafter "Project") for Department of Transportation of
the Republic of the Philippines. Last April 16, the Ceremonial Track-laying and
Installation of the Electro-Mechanical System was held at the Emerald Station,
Marcos Highway. The activity was attended by Sec.
Arthur P. Tugade and several dignitaries including the Ambassador of Japan, HE
Koji Haneda. Also in attendance were the leaders of the LGUs of Marikina City
and Antipolo City, namely Congressman Bayani Fernando (Marikina), Mayor Teodoro
(Marikina City) and Mayor Ynares (Antipolo City). Also present was the chief
reperesentative of JICA, Mr. Woshio Yada. The current Manila LRT Line 2,
which was awarded to Marubeni in 2000 and completed in 2004, is a 13.8km elevated
metro line with 11 stations connecting east and west; Marubeni was responsible
for the procurement of E&M systems, including track work and new rolling stock.
DMCI was the contractor for the
LRT Line 2 East Extension's viaduct and two additional stations – Emerald and
Masinag. As the two stations
are nearing completion, Marubeni and DMCI will be working together on the
signalling, telecommunications and other electrical requirements of the new LRT
Line 2 East Extension. This includes an automatic fare collection system, which
will expedite transactions and avoid long lines in the stations when they
become functional. The
project is expected to be finished by Q4 of 2020. |
