NIA Officials Inspect Ongoing Protection Works of Inverted Siphon in Llanera, Nueva Ecija

LLANERA, NUEVA ECIJA — As part of its efforts to strengthen irrigation infrastructure and safeguard water delivery services for farmers, the National Irrigation Administration, under the leadership of Administrator, Engr. Eduardo Eddie G. Guillen, conducted a site inspection of the ongoing protection works for the Inverted Siphon along Diversion Canal No. 1 at Talavera River in Brgy. San Francisco, Llanera, Nueva Ecija.

The inspection was led by Engr. Reyne B. Ugay, Officer-in-Charge Deputy Administrator for Engineering and Operations, and Engr. Ariel S. Najera, Design and Specifications Division Manager. They were accompanied by UPRIIS key staff led by NIA-UPRIIS Acting Department Manager Engr. Alvin L. Manuel, Division I Manager Engr. Aldous Joseph S. Lamucho, and Project Coordinator Engr. Roel L. Vegiga.

During the visit, the team assessed the status and readiness of the structure in preparation for wet season water delivery. The Inverted Siphon serves as a vital component of the irrigation system, conveying water to the TRIS Lower service area, which covers 19,235.62 hectares and benefits 13,943 farmer-beneficiaries in the municipalities of Llanera, Talavera, Quezon, Sto. Domingo, and Licab, as well as the cities of San Jose and Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.

The ongoing protection works are essential in preventing further deterioration of the exposed Inverted Siphon and ensuring its structural integrity. Given its critical role in water conveyance, the agency is undertaking measures to safeguard the structure to sustain agricultural production and protect the livelihoods of thousands of farmers within the service area.

Through the timely implementation of these protection works, NIA aims to secure the long-term functionality of the facility and ensure the uninterrupted delivery of irrigation water, particularly during the wet season when demand for reliable infrastructure is crucial.

The NIA remains committed to protecting and improving vital irrigation facilities across the country to enhance agricultural productivity, support farmers' welfare, and contribute to the government's food security goals.

Salazar, in collaboration with the NIA Central Office, UPRIIS Head Office Engineering Section, First Gen Hydro Power Corporation, and engineering consultants from AFRY, successfully conducted the 2026 Comprehensive Dam Safety Review from May 28 to June 1, 2026.

The activity brought together a dedicated team of engineers and foreign technical experts who conducted extensive on-site assessments of the dams and their appurtenant structures.

During the opening program on May 28, the Local Dam Safety Committee of the Dam and Reservoir Division presented the consolidated findings from the previous inspection conducted in December 2025. The foreign consultants reviewed and validated these findings to facilitate the formulation of appropriate corrective measures and action plans aimed at addressing identified concerns and further enhancing dam safety.

The assessment commenced at Taan and Casecnan Dams before proceeding to inspect other major structures, including Canili, Diayo, Marikit, Pantabangan Main, Aya, and Masiway Dams, as well as the spillway facilities. Various monitoring instruments critical to dam safety surveillance were likewise examined to verify their operational condition and ensure the continued accuracy of data collection and performance monitoring.

At the closing ceremony, Deputy Administrator for Engineering and Operations Engr. Reyne B. Ugay expressed his gratitude to all personnel who actively participated in the review, particularly the foreign consultants whose dedication enabled them to conduct thorough inspections despite challenging terrain and extreme weather conditions. He also acknowledged the steadfast support and commitment of UPRIIS Acting Department Manager Engr. Alvin L. Manuel, Engr. Ronaldo C. Sabella of First Gen Hydro Power Corporation, and DRD Division Manager Engr. Ronaldo C. Salazar for their invaluable contributions to the successful implementation of the activity.
