San Miguel Corporation removes 1M tons of silt, waste from Pasig River. SanMiguelCorporation SMC PasigRiver CarGuidePH
San Miguel Corporation said it expects its P 2-billion Pasig River cleanup project to cross the one million metric tons threshold in silt and solid wastes removed by this month. This as its dredging teams focus their efforts on both ends of the river—the Manila Bay and Laguna Lake, where significant water flow restriction is known to occur.
The pace of its clean-up activities at the Pasig River is considerably faster compared to its earlier project to clean up the Tullahan River, owing to its deployment of more heavy equipment and personnel. Apart from removing wastes and improving the flow and carrying capacity of the river to help mitigate flooding, navigability and safety for ferries and other vessels have also improved.
SMC’s historic Pasig River cleanup, said to be the largest such initiative to date by a single private enterprise, caught the attention of Japanese shipping giant NYK Line last year. With a length of around 10 kilometers, the San Juan River emanates from Quezon City and passes through Manila, San Juan, and Mandaluyong, leading to the Pasig River.
In many instances, areas near the Laguna Lake experience flooding during heavy rainfall or typhoons, because of heavy siltation, which causes the lake to overflow.
