NIA Central Office breaks ground for the 600kW rated capacity standby generator set

Thursday, April 28, 2022 - 14:17
 

Led by Administrator Ricardo R. Visaya, the National Irrigation Administration has conducted the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the supply, delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of 600kW rated capacity standby generator set including ancillary equipment on April 22, 2022.

This has an approved budget of P10,000,000.00 awarded to Automation and Power Distribution Services (APDS) contractor on February 1, 2022. The duration of the project is 120 calendar days which started on February 22, 2022 and is estimated to be completed on June 21, 2022.

The NIA Central Office has been using a 272KW capacity generator for the longest time and this old generator can only accommodate minimal electrical load for the office. With this, the late NIA Deputy Administrator for Administrative and Finance Sector, MGen Romeo G. Gan (Ret) conceptualized the idea to replace it and procure a new standby generator set with a higher capacity that can supply all the electrical load requirements of the office during a power outage. This likewise conforms to the prerequisite to apply for a permit to operate the generator set in compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001:2018 certification.

Rosales, led the ceremonial inauguration of the Ground Floor of the New NIA Region XII Office Building located at NIA South Cotabato-Sarangani Irrigation Management (SCSIMO) Office Compound, Koronadal City on April 7, 2022. 

Regional Office and SCSIMO personnel were present during the event. Once completed, the 1,800-square-meter three-storey building worth P220 million will accommodate the transfer of regional office personnel from Midsayap, Cotabato, and South Cotabato-Sarangani Irrigation Management Office employees. This will finally establish the new home of NIA Region XII, along with other Regional Offices, in Koronadal City, the regional seat and center of the SOCCSKSARGEN Region, by virtue of Executive Order (EO) 304 issued in March 2004 by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

SDA Antiporda expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome from all employees of NIA Region XII. He then reminded all the employees to take good care of the said government facility as it comes from the taxes of the Filipino people. He further committed to follow-up the release of the remaining P87 million budget to support the overall completion of the building.
