Amid the adverse effects on the economy by the Covid-19 pandemic, Crown Asia Chemicals Corporation (CROWN) continues to supply its brand of high quality pipes to key infrastructure projects. This is in line with the renewed drive and collaboration of the Philippine government and private sectors for robust growth and economic development in the country. Crown Asia Chemicals Corporation has began supplying Phase 2 of the North South Railway (NSR) Project from Malolos, Bulacan to New Clark City in Tarlac, passing through the Clark International Airport in Mabalacat, Pampanga. The NSR commuter railway is aimed to provide critical connectivity through world class passenger rail service. Work for Phase 1 which runs from Tutuban to Malolos is about to start. The 91 kilometer stretch for Phases 1 and 2 will have 10 stations located at Tutuban, Solis, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Mecauayan, Marilao, Bocaue, Balagtas, Guiguinto and Malolos. Crown Pipes were and are continuously being supplied to the Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, an 18.83 kilometer-elevated expressway from Buendia, Makati City to North Luzon Expressway in Balintawak, Quezon City. This project connects South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). This is expected to decongest traffic along EDSA, C5 and Central Metro Manila as already felt by commuters. Crown Asia Chemicals also started to supply MRT-7, another elevated railway line of 23 kilometers with 14 stations from San Jose del Monte in Bulacan to MRT3 in North Avenue, Quezon City. It has a 22-kilometer asphalt road component from Bocaue Interchange of NLEX to the intermodal terminal in Tala that will divert Northern provincial buses operation to San Jose del Monte. It will be ready by December 2021. Crown Pipes fully supplied NAIA Expressways which started in January 2014 and was operational by June 2017. The 11.6 kilometer elevated expressway system links the skyway to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Entertainment City. NAIAx is the first airport expressway in the Philippines. These are just some of the Crown project partnerships for economic progress, moving population, goods and services to uplift the lives of more Filipinos.
