Large diameter DN1200 and DN1400 free discharge valve installed at Angat Dam on the year 2009
AVK Philippines started the study of the Free discharge valve specifications of Glenfield - a dedicated member of the AVK Group, to compare it with the specifications in the market.
Since the project was for the common purpose facilities of Manila Water Corp. and Maynilad Water Services, we separately promoted the free discharge valve to the two-water concessionaire, and to the end-user - The Angat dam.
Angat dam is a water reservoir located in Norzagaray Bulacan that supplies potable drinking water to millions of families in Metro Manila.
To further enhance advantage of Glenfield against the competition, we invited Engr. Sam Gilbert, the Technical manager of Glenfield with more than 30 years of experience in the application of Dams and reservoirs.
Engr. Sam Gilbert and the General Manager suggested to put molded part and not fabricated in the technical specification prepared, which became the big advantage of Glenfield Free discharge valve against the competition. These was concurred to by the Angat Dam Plant Manager, Engr. Rody German.
The request for tender included not only 0ne FDV but two FDV’s with sizes 1200 and 1400 diameter. It is also included parallel faced gate valves DN1200 and DN1400.
All are now installed in the Angat Dam.
