BERMAD Emergency Shut-Off Valves for the East La Mesa Reservoir – Manila, Philippines

The city of Manila is the capital of the Philippines and has a population of approximately 20M people in the metro Manila area. Earthquakes are commonplace and over two dozen moderate to severe earthquakes with magnitudes of 5.4 to 7.8 on the Richter scale have been recorded in the city since the turn of the 20th century.

The Challenge
One of the main reservoirs in Manila is the La Mesa Reservoir. The trunk main that supplies water from this reservoir passes through a densely populated valley and a major fault line. For this reason, there was a fear that an earthquake could cause the trunk main to burst and consequently cause flooding.
