CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – The Department of Public Works and Highways will
build a six-bay missile battery shed with alert crew barracks inside Basa Air Base in
Floridablanca, Pampanga.
It will be used by the 960th Air and Missile Defense Group (AMDG) of the Air
Defense Command.
Pampanga 2nd District Engineer Gregorio Audea Jr. said a total of P39.2 million was
allocated in the 2022 national budget for the construction of the two-storey
infrastructure.
It will be implemented under the Tatag ng Imprastruktura para sa Kapayapaan at
Seguridad Program of the DPWH and Department of National Defense.
“This facility has a total area of 1,190 square meters and will serve as living
barracks for the 960th AMDG personnel and as storage for their facilities and
equipment,” Audea explained.
The project includes the construction of parking and storage spaces for missile
trucks with mechanized roll-up doors, and alert crew barracks with laundry room,
radio and computer rooms, armory, pantry, personal storage, and
bathroom. Also, a meeting room and multipurpose area.
“To ensure the comfort of those who will use this facility, we have included the
installation of a water supply system, generator set, air conditioning units, and
other safety features such as a lightning arrester and a fire alarm system,” Audea
furthered.
A 105-lineal meter access road connected to the Air Base’s existing concrete road
will also be constructed.
