Check gates proposed to prevent dike breach

BACOLOR, Pampanga — To mitigate the impact of flash floods during times of calamities, Bacolor Mayor Jomar Hizon proposed the construction of check gates at the ring dike.

“This proposal came to mind during the height of the recent Typhoon Maring enhanced by the Southwest Monsoon, which caused erosion on some portions of the tail dike due to flash floods,” Hizon said.

In his proposal, four check gates will be installed at the ring dike, which include one each at the Sto.Tomas section, Sta. Rita-Minalin, Mesalipit-Bacolor and City of San Fernando section.

“In the event of flash floods, check gates will be opened to gradually release floodwaters to lessen the pressure and prevent damage on the structure,” he added.

Aside from preventing flash floods, the said project also aims to provide irrigation to farmers and aquaculture industries in the town and neighboring areas.

The said proposal gained approval in a meeting of various local chief executives and government engineers.
In addition, Hizon revealed that in case the proposal will materialize, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will provide funding for the project.

Meanwhile, DPWH Regional Director Antonio Molano said that the agency is considering Hizon’s proposal, but they should first consult LGUs surrounding the dike before it can be implemented.

He also said that about P139 million is allotted for urgent projects like this one. Other similar projects include upgrading of dikes, widening of Gugu River, and repair of Sta. Ursula Bridge.
