Centralized Utility networks

1.

The Water and Sewage systems

Managed by Bonifacio Water Corporation, a subsidiary
of Veolia (formerly Vivendi) Philippines.
Large water reservoirs assure strong water pressure 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.

An underground drainage detention structure is in place to prevent floods in

Bonifacio Global City.
The structure can hold 22 million liters of water and release it under controlled
conditions.

The citys answer to the flooding problem lies beneath Burgos Circle a five-story
cistern that collects rainwater to be flushed to the Manila Bay after the heavy rains.
Because of its effectiveness in keeping

the city water-free from super typhoons like Ondoy, Habagat, and recently, Mario,
local governments are taking notice. The national government and the city
government of Marikina has revealed plans to pattern its flood control programs to
that of BGC to resolve the flood issue in the city.

2. Fiber Optics

The city has a fiber optic communications

network that is also built underground to
provide services like high-speed Internet,
Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), and
local phone lines to businesses.

3.

Electricity

Ac

cording to the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation, the

public-private partnership of government and private
entities involved in the development of BGC, electricity
supply is serviced to buildings and infrastructures
courtesy of wires hidden underground to keep the citys
landscape clean.

4. Gas Supply

Liquified
Gas

Petroleum Gas (for cooking and/or conditioning systems) is

distributed through an underground piping system by Bonifacio
Corporation, which
is
managed
by
Pilipinas
Shell.

5. Waste management
A citys clean image is directly linked to how the city manages its waste. Visitors
have observed the ample number of colorful trash cans in several public locations in
the city. Since all of the buildings in the area are owned by developers, a proper
waste management program is usually in place to ensure that trash does not
destroy the clean image of BGC.
For example, the waste of all buildings registered with the Philippine Economic Zone
Authority (PEZA) are being managed by a department of the city government under
a memorandum of agreement.
