WORK on the new Ormoc City fire station is 82% complete, according to project contractor Engr. Glenn Alvin Maglasang of Magnam Konstruk. Construction progress is so fast that he expects the two-storey building’s completion on September, two months ahead of the scheduled turnover.
Engr. Maglasang said they were able to accomplish much despite the challenges they encountered especially on the existence of the sub-provincial jail next door that is on the way of the roofed garage. The jail will have to be demolished to give way to the concrete posts.
As of press time, workers are preparing for the roofing and working on the wall finishing at the office area. Work on the garage flooring and glass doors installation are expected to be done on the last week of the month. Next will be the installation of tiles and paint jobs.
Built at a cost of P9,157,795.45, work on the 715.27 sq.m. building began last Apr. 2. The fire station office was moved to the sub-station in San Pablo St., Dist. 12 while the fire trucks are temporarily parked in front of the old city hall. The new fire station is a priority project of Mayor Eric C. Codilla.
