this is consider an xtreme engineering in the making for our country, so far

and from palawan it would connect directly to davao via tunnel.

That's a long tunnel-- so they need to make it out of see-thru material so you can at least see the dugong and schools of fishes and coral reefs so that it won't be boring.

kiretoce · November 11th, 2005, 06:03 PM

Anyone remember that photo of that airport on Laguna de Bay? Someone should post that, that's one extreme engineering endeavour if there ever was one!

bulakenyo · November 14th, 2005, 08:42 PM

Does anyone know about a proposed underwater road or tunnel in Manila?
I swear I saw this on TV. I'm not joking.

Lili · November 14th, 2005, 08:48 PM

If only the flyovers were actually underground subways then we don't have to obstruct the view of our architectural buildings. Years ago they wera able to build the Quiapo underpass and that was it. Also very basic things like no more flooding of the streets of Metro Manila.

This will really be exciting.

, WHAT YOU GUYS THINK. TOO MUCH PROJECT, TOO COSTLY 'BA BUT THERES A BIG POSSIBILITY IN THE FUTURE

ANY IDEAS FOR OUR COUNTRY'S XTREME ENGINEERING

That's sounds very exciting...if only Tigs!! If only...
At the moment Palawan is very thinly populated, so our politicos might not be too enthusiastic on pouring the necessary millions (or billions). What I think might be more feasible is linking most of the major Visayan islands - some of them are really close together - for example, Bohol-Mactan-Cebu, likewise Panay-Negros. Samar is also very close to the tip of Sorsogon, a bridge there should provide a much needed link between Luzon and the Visayan islands.

Have any one of you guys heard about a secret tunnel from Clark to Subic built by the Americans during their stay at Clark and Subic. Im not sure if its only rumors but my dad once told me that he saw somekind of a plan of it or part of it. It belonged to an elder relative who was an engineer, when he noticed that my dad and my uncle were looking at it, he rushed to stop them and kept it again.

Hmm... I wonder if its true, and if it is does the current gov't knows about it or does it still exist? And if it still does exist it would be a very useful infrastructure.

bustero · November 15th, 2005, 02:09 AM

There's a pipeline that connects subic and clark and it's quite large perhaps about a meter that wouldn't qualify as a tunner though.

Before Palawan maybe connect matnog to catbalogan in samar and southern leyte to surigao so the maharlika highway will have no ferry components anymore. That would really help develop Eastern Visayas which is one of the country's most depressed.

Yes, that's what I was thinking....

tanggalin lahat ng estero sa maynila and build a land over. it starting to become an open sewer, or estero is an open sewer

actually Estero is "storm drain" in other words. So we cannot remove this from Metro manila. Unless u want to see the whole streets of Manila to become esteros when it rains (which is actually already getting flooded). Storm drains are a major component of a big Metropolis. For every natural drain point we convert to concrete...the esteros must compensate for it.

Cleaning up Esteros in Manila would be and extreme engineering for me...

Technically ito ang ginagawa nila ngayon-- kaya nagkakabaha. The esteros serve important roles as the metro's drainage systems. Ideally, if there were no squatters living in them and nobody threw garbage in them, the water would flow into the esteros and onto the bay with no obstacles.

These days, they're either full of garbage, which clogs up the esteros. Or they drain the esteros and pave over them. Nawawala ang drainage function ng estero.

Kung itigil nila ang pagdumi at pagtapon ng basura, hindi magiging mapanghi ang amoy. Tapos, kokonti ang baha.

edit: uups. naunahan ako. Yon nga ang extreme engineering. Clean up of estero and restore them to inland transportation use (ala Venice). Build azoteas behind the houses that front the esteros to bring back the retro 1890s style-- houses have 2 front doors: one on the street and one on the estero.

tigidig14 · November 15th, 2005, 07:03 AM

aaah, the one close to our house in sampaloc, domingo santiago, i remember it dried up because of the people garbage. unfortunatly some people start putting rooftop in there and made it as their turf

kawawa cguro yun pag bumaha

Lili · November 15th, 2005, 07:15 AM

Doon pala kayo sa Domingo Santiago? Katabi nga ng estero 'yon. Sobra walang patawad yung nakatira doon pati yun sinakop na.

d kami dun pero malayo kami dun. taga palawan kami (visayan ave.)

. dun lang sakayan ng tricycle

Lili · November 15th, 2005, 07:33 AM

Di ko masyadong matandaan yung streets. Malapit ba yuns sa Lealtad? May tricycle pala don?
