Aboitiz Construction, the official construction arm of the Aboitiz Group, has significantly broadened its scope with the introduction of its Industrial Maintenance segment. Launched last year, this new venture has quickly gained momentum, with numerous successful projects highlighting the company’s growing expertise and commitment to quality and safety.
As part of the synergy strategy of the Aboitiz Group, Aboitiz Construction plays a key role within the Group by undertaking various projects that highlight the collaborative efforts towards sustainable business growth.
Expanding Horizons. Since the inception of its Industrial Maintenance segment, Aboitiz Construction has accomplished several key projects. The firm completed waterproofing works for Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) Terminal 1 and successfully repaired the sootblower lance tube for GN Power Dinginin (GNPD) in Mariveles, Bataan. Furthermore, the company secured a new five-year contract for shutdown works with Taganito HPAL Nickel Corporation in Claver, Surigao del Norte, and a three-year scaffolding contract with Aboitiz Power Corporation’s Therma Visayas, Inc. and Therma South, Inc.
MCIA reaffirmed its trust in Aboitiz Construction by awarding another waterproofing project for UTB Terminal 2. Additionally, GNPD selected the firm for a design and engineering service for its power plant in Bataan.
The firm is also continuously supporting the completion of a significant project with Cemex Holdings Philippines (K4 Project) in Antipolo City, Rizal, focusing on the commissioning of the new cement line.
Another noteworthy project is the firm’s preventive maintenance works for Apo Agua Infrastructura, Inc., which involved the maintenance of 45 kilometers of treated water pipelines and related infrastructure.
Following this, Aboitiz Construction secured another major project with Apo Agua in March. This new contract, set to be completed in three years, involves maintaining Apo Agua’s water treatment plant, which handles 300 million liters daily. The project will ensure continuous water supply, optimize operations, and manage risks, demonstrating the company’s commitment to high standards and safety.
In June 2024, a one-year maintenance contract for the power barges was signed with AboitizPower’s Therma Mobile Inc. in Navotas.
Furthermore, Aboitiz Construction has recently secured a three-year maintenance contract for AP Renewables, Inc.’s Makban and Tiwi Geothermal Power Plants. Work is set to commence in September 2024.
