NAVAL, Biliran – A
thermoplastic paint pre-heater and paint applicator has been
acquired by Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) -Biliran
District Engineering Office (DEO) to accelerate work on road marking
application along Biliran’s national road network.
David P. Adongay Jr.,
District Engineer said that the procurement of these machines will
fast-track the work of maintenance personnel compared to the manual
road marking application.
“Using the machine, we can
really expect a more quality result with less manpower needed,” said
Adongay.
Road markings are applied
on paved roadways to provide guidance and information to drivers and
pedestrians to avoid road accidents. Road surface marking can also
indicate regulation for parking and stopping.
The newly acquired
equipment has a total cost of P2.18M funded through Engineering
Administrative Overhead (EAO).
DPWH-Biliran DEO regularly
conducts routine maintenance activities to provide quality service
to the public by implementing activities that maintains the quality,
safety and integrity of the roads, bridges and other structures
under their jurisdiction for the safety convenience of the traveling
public.
