The Department of Transportation deployed the tunnel-boring machine for the Metro Manila Subway Project on Monday, signaling a “point of no return” to complete the country’s first-ever underground railway system.
He added that the MMSP is a key ingredient in the agency’s program to promote interconnectivity among the country’s infrastructure systems, saying that the subway is an “urgent need” that will provide direct connectivity to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport . “Today, let me highlight many firsts—the launching of the first tunnel boring machine of the first civil work contract under the first-ever subway project, in the very first month of this year,” he said.
Around 1,200,000 cubic meters of soil using cut-cover and the TBMs are to be excavated for the partial operability section of the project or an equivalent of 500 Olympic size swimming pools.
