IOM Community Center & Evacuation Center – Guiuan

In 2014, a year after a most powerful 315 kph typhoon Haiyan ( locally known as Yolanda) made landfall in Guiuan Eastern Samar in the Philippines, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) embarked on a program to build resilient facilities that provided for community protection during evacuation in times of disaster and subsequent recovery. These buildings are right-sized for the community population by selecting from two models, namely a 1,500 m2 or a 750 m2 built-up area. During normal times that do not require the building’s use as an evacuation center, its use is mainly as a community center for the locality

This project in Guiuan was IOM’s first Community Center & Evacuation Center designed together with RNFA. It is a 750 m2 two-storey reinforced concrete structure with structural steel roof framing. The building was designed to withstand winds of 320 kph and earthquake resistance to meet seismic zone 4. Water storage was also incorporated in the facility as part of provisioning for recovery and rehabilitation. Many of the concepts adopted in the design of this facility were taken from the lessons learned in post-disaster studies of typhoon Haiyan.

On April 19, 2016, IOM’s completed Community Center & Evacuation Center was turned over to the Guiuan municipal government and to the community at large in a handover ceremony.

NEW INTEL A2 BUILDING

This project involved the construction of a 5-storey building on a 4,500 square meters lot adjacent to the existing Intel A2 Facility. The building, with a floor area of approximately 25,000 square meters houses Intel’s expanded manufacturing operations as well as other offices. A portion of its roofdeck is used as a canteen and multi-purpose area, while the basement services parking.

An early completion date influenced the choice of structural steel framing in the design of the building.

The power center is a 4-MVA substation located at the ground floor; while two standby gensets in the basement provided back-up power. The chillers and pumps of the central A/C chilled water system (1300-TR capacity) are likewise to be found in the basement, while the cooling towers are on the roofdeck.
RNFA provided a Feasibility Study and the detailed Engineering/Architectural design services which cover the following disciplines: Civil /Structural/Architectural, Plumbing/Sanitary, Mechanical (HVAC and Fire Protection) and Electrical (Power and Communication).

AAPI AREA 5 FACILITY

Amkor Anam Philippines, Inc. (AAPI) is a semiconductor company engaged in assembling electronic components. To expand their P1 Facility operation, they decided to convert two (2) old warehouse buildings with a combined area of 6,000 square meters into a 12,000square meter assembly/test facility. They doubled the total area of the said facility by adding a second floor.

A two-storey structure was added in front in order to house a lobby and some toilet facilities. Another structure was built at the back to serve as the housing of the power substation, chillers, and even more toilets. Subsequently, a two-storey annex was constructed along one side of the facility to serve as offices and the central lockers area.

RNFA provided total engineering and structural design services for the entire project and, in addition, the firm managed the construction for the central lockers annex and handled production fit-up. The success of this engagement led to more renovation, facility conversion and expansion projects for RNFA within the AAPI’s P1 Facility Compound.
