kilometers of the site's location, but no volcanic activity. West Valley Fault
System is the nearest known fault to the location. Approximately 1.6
kilometers outside of the site's borders.
04.1. Geomorphology
The kind of soil that is present in the site is Unmodified Soil, which makes
up most of Western Bicutan. The major components of unmodified soil are
sand and gravel, which largely hold less water, reducing the likelihood that
the building would move and develop structural and non-structural
fissures. Sand and gravel that have been compacted provide even more
solidity and make an excellent foundation.

of steel, concrete, and galvanized iron roofing in order to be substantial
enough to house a large number of people and equipment.

ZONING AND LAND USE
01.Zoning & Land Use (Institutional Zone)
The location is classified to be fit for Institutional development land since it
is inside the Institutional Zone. The planned inter-modal terminal falls
under the category of "institutional building," which is defined as a facility
built by a government, semi-government entity, or registered trust for the
benefit and convenience of the general public. It is understood that public
and communal structures require a lengthy public procedure prior to
approval, and that the rights of neighboring and surrounding property
owners must be maintained, therefore a great deal of leeway is given in
terms of design. The region is zoned appropriately for the construction of
an inter-modal PUV terminal.
