On the latest update of the proposed multi-million dollar Aklan Hydro Electric Power Project the survey of road control points is now underway for the road widening of provincial road section from Poblacion to Bgry. Manika by the Thetan Computerized Mapping and Surveying Services, Inc., a Manila based surveying firm contracted by the California Energy International, Inc. to do all the surveying activities of this project.
This will be followed by a road survey whose technical data shall become the basis in formulating access road design. According to Engr. Eduardo Sarmiento, Thetan Gen. Manager this technical work would entail 30-40 days to finish and that thereafter the actual road construction will commence.
The same surveying firm is presently undertaking the actual survey since mid-December last year of this Aklan Hydro Electric Power Project in barangays Manika, Oyang and Dalagsaan, all in Libacao town whose technical data shall also become the basis in formulating the engineering design and detailed feasibility study of the aforesaid project.
Libacao Mayor Charito Navarosa after his conversation with Cal En’s Business Development Executive Reymond Cunningham said that this US-based project proponent is fast-tracking this project and thus tentatively scheduled to begin actual road construction before this mid-year’s national and local elections and will continue to undertake this work until its completion while the project’s engineering design and detailed feasibility study are being made so as to avoid unnecessary delay.
Consulting Engineer Patricia L. Lopez, respected in the profession was the one who made the Pre-feasibility study of this project. This was presented to Aklan officials headed by Cong. Joben Miraflores and Vice Gov. Kel Tolentino who represented Gov. Carlito S. Marquez and Libacao officials and concerned residents headed by Mayor Navarosa on October 31, 2006. Also present were Aklan Rivers Development Council Exec. Director Allen S. Quimpo and former SP Member Jean O. Rodriguez and some members of the local tri-media. Prior to that, Engr. Lopez together with tunnel consultant Jim Palmer, a US national visited the proposed project site up to the farthest barangay of Dalagsaan sometime last year.
The results of the Pre-feasibility study disclosed that there are 5 separate possible sites and designs which could be adopted with costs ranging from 75 to 382 million dollars, excluding the tunnel component cost. Hence, total project cost will reach up to more or less 400 million dollars which would consequently bring in substantial revenues for the provincial government, LGU Libacao and the 3 host barangays of Manika, Oyang and Dalagsaan.
