2. It was committed to be completed on or before December 31, 2018.
Findings / Observations:
1. For slope protection works (upstream San Rafael side), on-going concreting @ Sta. 1 + 300 – 1 +
500 of about 200 meters in length.
2. For remaining activities to wit: supply and installation of gabion boxes and mattresses; laying-in of
steel sheet pile and installation of railings.

length was also completed.
3. Remaining activities, laying-in of 36 inches diameter RCP of about 150 meters in length.
4. The said project was committed to be completed on or before 4th week of January 2019.
FINDINGS/OBSERVATIONS:
1. For the engine and pump house, on-going fabrication for steel frame of said pump house; for

As per attached memorandum dated September 3, 2018 form NIA Regional Office 3, RIM Josephine
B. Salazar, the final report for the conduct of geo-technical and structural assessment of PDRIS-Cong Dadong
Dam, the causes of crack at piers/gap of bridge girder due to heat of hydration. For the Alkali-Silica-Reaction
(ASR), there are no laboratory test and chemical analysis conducted to conclude the cause of cracks. For
shrinkage stresses due to heat hydration there are no cracks analysis.
In view of this, we also observed that the presence of gap of bridge girder (seismic joint) @ pier 4 as
shown in the photo. Therefore, we also recommended for the conduct of laboratory test and stress analysis.
