MANILA — Engineering and infrastructure conglomerate Megawide Construction Corp. (Megawide) has partnered with Toshiba Group\u2019s UEM India Pvt. Ltd. and a local firm to design and build its first PHP2-billion water reclamation engineering project.
\nMegawide told the local bourse the design and other pre-construction work on its first project with Maynilad Water Services Inc. will begin this January.<\/p>\n
Once completed, the Las Pi\u00f1as Water Reclamation Facility will allow the water company to recover some 88 million liters per day (MLD) of potable water, which according to them will be enough to supply 88,000 households.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Megawide construction business will continue its expansion this year, starting with Maynilad\u2019s 88 MLD Las Pi\u00f1as facility,\u201d said group chairman Edgar Saavedra. \u201cWe are actively seeking more projects outside the residential and commercial types to expand our portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megawide partnered with UEM and local company LinkENERGIE Industries Co., Inc. to deliver the project\u2019s design and construction components.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe partnered with UEM and LinkENERGIE to ensure delivery of the highest quality standards. UEM brings solid international experience in creating water treatment facilities and we are looking forward applying their world-class standards to this project,\u201d Saavedra said.<\/p>\n
UEM is an international environmental services company that specializes in water and wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal. It has a solid presence in the United States, Trinidad & Tobago and India. It was acquired by the Toshiba Group in 2015.<\/p>\n
