RENOVATION OF EDSA-AYALA FOOTBRIDGE, MAKATI CITY

October 1, 2010
MABUHAY!

My former employer assigned me to do the renovation works of the EDSA-AYALA FOOTBRIDGE located on top of the most busiest highway in the Philippines. I was only given 45 days duration to complete the project. So my team worked 24 hours a day with morning and evening shift, for 7 days a week. The Ayala Property Management where we get our contract stipulated that we cannot close this footbridge while undergoing renovation. The safety of the pedestrian walking and the running vehicles underneath is a major challenge that put my construction management skill into really tough test.
