In the flood-prone lowlands of Tanza, Navotas, infrastructure plays a critical role in protecting communities and livelihoods. The Tanza Dike, a longstanding barrier against rising tides and stormwater surges, was recently reinforced as part of a strategic drainage improvement initiative led by Calcon Engineering.
To meet the area's growing needs for a more durable and efficient drainage system, Profiled Wall Pipes—a form of Large-Diameter HDPE Pipes—were selected for their strength, flexibility, and resilience in tough environments. With a size of 800mm and a total length of 96 meters across 16 pieces, the installation focused on creating a gravity-fed system capable of withstanding both regular runoff and seasonal flooding.

Designed for longevity and minimal maintenance, these profiled wall pipes are engineered to perform under constant hydraulic pressure and varying flow conditions. Their smooth interior ensures optimal flow capacity, while the ribbed exterior provides structural integrity—making them ideal for critical applications like dike rehabilitation.
As installation completed along the dike, the community witnessed more than just new infrastructure—it marked a step forward in Navotas’ long-term flood resilience. Thanks to the use of Large-Diameter HDPE Pipes, the Tanza Dike now stands reinforced not just by earth and stone, but by innovation and future-ready solutions.
