NSSDEO, Brgy. Burabud, Laoang, Northern Samar– Another high impact project implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways(DPWH)-Northern Samar 2nd District Engineering Office under OIC District Engineer Charlito S. Carlobos was completed last December 18, 2022.
The project is the rehabilitation of a sea wall in Barangay Del Norte of Lapinig town in the second district of Northern Samar.
It was funded under CY 2022 GAA DPWH Regular Infrastructure costing of P50 million intended for the rehabilitation and upgrading of 378 meters length of sea wall.
The project is under contract with CDU Construction, a local firm based in Catarman, Northern Samar.
The structure was built parallel to the shoreline to withstand the waves that can cause gradual sliding of the soil that prevent damage to the nearby properties within the area.
With the completion of the project, the existing sea wall structure which provide buffer and protection against the big waves that continuously punch the coastal areas of Lapinig town as well as the flooding and erosion of its shoreline is finally stabilized.
The impact of this project is to protect the lives and properties of people living in the area.
