MANILA, Philippines — Heavy flooding along EDSA last Saturday was due to garbage clogging the highway’s drains, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said yesterday.
On Saturday, the agency recorded flooding along the northbound lane of EDSA-Ortigas in front of Camp Aguinaldo.He also pointed out that aside from the substantial volume of garbage that had blocked the drainage systems, the sudden and significant volume of rainwater and the relatively modest capacity of the drainage system were contributing factors to the flooding.
These TBMs would be deployed from a pit located off EDSA, facilitating the excavation process without causing significant disruptions to the busy roadway. Conventional curbside drains are also ill-suited for the task as water cannot naturally flow by gravity from these low-lying areas, and they are often clogged by plastic waste, rendering them unreliable, he added.
