This extension project analyzed the scouring patterns at Pier 5 of the Agana Bridge and tested how a proposed groundsill structure could reduce erosion. The study aimed to provide the DPWH with data-driven insights to improve bridge maintenance and structural resilience. By evaluating the effectiveness of the engineering intervention, the project provided engineers with the essential information needed to make better decisions for future bridge rehabilitation and protection.

FS2 Tailoring specializes in garment services, including T-shirt printing and sublimation. A primary byproduct of their production is fabric scraps, or retaso. Seeking a sustainable solution for this waste, JJJ Engineeringโ€”which specializes in solar energy and masonryโ€”proposes integrating these fabric trimmings into their hollow block manufacturing process.

This initiative aims to explore the feasibility of creating a lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly construction material.
This extension activity concluded with a productive discussion on the technical parameters required to move this innovative waste-to-resource project into the testing phase.

On January 23, 2026, the team successfully turned over the design and structural analysis to the Municipal Government, formally received by the Municipal Engineer, Engr. Teodoro Cabanes.

This extension project entailed the development of a flood-resilient creek and bridge infrastructure tailored for the community of Barangay San Jose in Gerona, Tarlac. This area was identified through needs assessment as highly susceptible to seasonal flooding.

The identified vulnerabilitiesโ€”particularly the inadequate capacity of the existing creek and the obsolete bridge structureโ€”adversely impacted residents, farmers, and daily commuters, resulting in property damage, agricultural losses, and restricted mobility. The scope of the project included site reconnaissance, watershed delineation using QGIS, hydrologic and hydraulic simulation utilizing HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS, and the design of reinforced concrete channels and a structurally optimized bridge. These were developed in accordance with the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2015 and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) standards. The approach adopted a simulation-based methodology that integrated both hydrologic and hydrodynamic analyses to ensure infrastructure resilience under various flood return periods.

In partnership with the Department of Agrarian Reform โ€“ Tarlac (DAR-Tarlac), the College of Engineering (COE) conducted an initial site inspection and meeting at Brgy. Matarannoc, San Manuel, Tarlac, on January 21, 2026. This collaboration aims to assist the PAGBIAGAN Multi-Purpose Cooperative in designing a cGMP-compliant food processing facility from a greenfield site. The project focuses on ensuring the facility meets FDAโ€“LTO requirements and achieves operational readiness through integrated engineering planning.

The Improvement of Recreational Park project seeks to rehabilitate and upgrade the existing public park to provide a safe, inclusive, and sustainable space for leisure, wellness, and community interaction. This project aims to revitalize the area by continually enhancing its infrastructure, landscaping, and accessibility while promoting environmental sustainability and public safety.

Furthermore, it supports the Provincial Governmentโ€™s goal of fostering public health, tourism, and social development through the creation of well-designed, people-centered public spaces. The initiative is designed to modernize park facilities, improve green spaces, and ensure accessibility for all users, including persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and children. By encouraging outdoor recreation and physical activities, the project will strengthen community engagement and provide a suitable venue for cultural and social events. Ultimately, by integrating eco-friendly designs and robust maintenance systems, the project will not only improve the parkโ€™s functionality and aesthetic appeal but also contribute to the provinceโ€™s long-term vision of creating livable, resilient, and environmentally responsible communities.

This extension project aims to provide a sustainable and cost-effective energy solution through the utilization of renewable solar energy. By integrating a grid-tied solar PV system, the project will reduce electricity expenses, improve energy efficiency, and promote environmental stewardship within the local community. This initiative also serves as a practical application of engineering expertise from the College of Engineeringโ€”particularly the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Programโ€”providing technical assistance while promoting the adoption of clean energy technologies in support of national and global sustainability goals.

Through technical assistance, capacity-building workshops, and collaborative documentation sessions, the project team will guide barangay officials and staff in mapping their processes, drafting service flowcharts, establishing service commitment standards, and designing a user-friendly Citizenโ€™s Charter for public posting.

By the end of the project, Barangay Ungot will have a validated, printed, and digital Citizenโ€™s Charter, empowering residents with accessible information about their rights and the services available to them, thereby promoting transparency, accountability, and improved local governance.
