Geologists are surveying the depth and underwater terrain beneath the Panguil Bay channel where a P7.4-billion two-lane bridge will soon be built to connect Tubod town, Lanao del Norte province, and Tangub City in Misamis Occidental province. Ricky Cariquez, the leader of a team of geologists from Geotechnics Philippines Inc., said the bathymetry survey, or the study of the underwater depth of ocean floors, started on Friday to determine the condition of the seafloor and other underwater features of the bay. Namkwang-Kukdong-Gumwang Construction, a joint venture of three South Korean firms, commissioned the survey for the bridge project that was expected to lessen travel time between here and Tangub from two hours to only seven minutes.
