From 16 to 17 July 2024, MWSS RO officials and employees, led by Chief Regulator Patrick Lester N. Ty, participated in Trenchless Asia 2024 at the World Trade Center, Pasay City.
Organized by Westrade Group Ltd, Trenchless Asia is the leading conference and exhibition focused on trenchless technology in the Asia-Pacific region. The event brings together a wide range of stakeholders and provides a platform for professionals in the engineering field to exchange knowledge, share the latest advancements and best practices, and discuss challenges and opportunities in the industry.
Chief Regulator Ty served as a keynote speaker on the first day of the conference. He delivered a presentation titled, “Towards Sustainable Development through Trenchless Technology,” in which he discussed the innovative solutions and technologies currently employed by the MWSS RO, the persistent challenges faced by the agency in expanding water and sanitation coverage in the Concession Area, and how advanced trenchless technologies offer innovative solutions to myriad challenges in improving water and wastewater services.
The MWSS RO champions forward-thinking approaches to infrastructure such as trenchless technology. The Office, together with the two concessionaires Maynilad Water Services, Inc. and Manila Water, intends to integrate such techniques in future plans to help ensure a continuous, sustainable, and accessible supply of safe and affordable drinking water, and an environmentally safe sewerage system.
