Project overview

The Project

The Bacolod Ferry Terminal is a 2-storey transport terminal and office building in Bacolod, Negros Occidental. Passenger terminals are among the most demanding low-rise building types: large open halls with fluctuating occupancy, continuous daily operation, and public-safety requirements that exceed typical commercial buildings.

The project required a full MEPF package for the terminal halls, passenger amenities, and office floors, ventilation and cooling for high-occupancy waiting areas, robust power and lighting for round-the-clock operations, public restroom plumbing at terminal scale, and life-safety systems designed for crowds.

Sectors served

Scope Delivered

Mechanical

Ventilation and air conditioning for high-occupancy passenger halls, office air conditioning, and exhaust systems for amenities.

Power distribution, terminal and exterior lighting, emergency lighting, and auxiliary provisions (CCTV, data, public address) supporting terminal operations.

High-demand public restroom plumbing, water storage and distribution, and site storm drainage for a waterfront location.

Sprinkler and extinguisher coverage with egress-supporting life-safety provisions for assembly-type occupancy.

Engineering considerations

Challenges & Considerations

Buildings of this type require ventilation designed for peak passenger surges rather than average occupancy, emergency systems that keep a public facility safely operable during outages, and waterfront drainage that handles storm events. Coordination with port authority operations and phased construction around a working terminal are typical constraints on projects like this.

Outcome

Value Delivered

A public infrastructure MEPF package engineered for continuous operation, passenger comfort at peak loads, and the life-safety standards a transport terminal demands.
