# Navotas BRT – Philippines

![Navotas BRT – Philippines](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/navotas-scaled.jpg)

**Following the feasibility studies carried out in 2022, the teams at SYSTRA Philippines signed in 2024 a contract for the new phase of [the project to create two bus rapid transit (BRT) lines](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/bus-rapid-transit/) in Navotas, a large port town in the bay of Manila.**

The regional authorities of the cities of Navotas and Caloocan, as well as
Philippine National Railways, the main client for the project, have renewed
their confidence in SYSTRA. This new phase of the project consists of carrying
out the Detailed Engineering Design for the future lines of the BRT network.

Named Navento, a contraction of Navotas and Monumento (the name of a district of
the city of Caloocan), the two towns on the route of the future BRT, this
network will be the first modern BRT in the Philippines. It will also connect
with line 1 of the Manila metro.

### AN IDEAL MOBILITY SOLUTION

This contract is a clear indication that SYSTRA Philippines has become an
essential player in providing solutions to the critical transportation problems
of the country. I see this new mode of transport, while still underdeveloped, as
having great potential as it is less expensive than the creation of metros or
guided railway lines and can be readily adapted and replicated in other highly
urbanised cities in the country.

### A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROJECT FOR SYSTRA

Designers, coordinators, planners, architects, and engineers – no fewer than
forty SYSTRA Philippines staff will be involved in this project, as well as
several international profiles, including a systems expert from SYSTRA
Singapore. Together, they will have to organise the topographical and
geotechnical studies for the preparatory work, carry out a value analysis phase
to ensure that the project is optimised, as well as the design studies for the
10 stations and the depot for the two lines.

The scope of the project includes architectural, structural, electromechanical,
systems and ticketing studies. The detailed design phase also includes the
preparation of technical specifications for each of the trades in preparation
for the construction phases.
