DAVAO CITY, Philippines The preliminary technical studies for the reclamation, construction and development of a modern port city in this urban center’s foreshore area are now complete. Project proponent and developer Mega Harbour Port and Development Inc. has completed all the geotechnical , parcellary, bathymetric , baseline traffic, socioeconomic, environmental and coastal engineering surveys of the areas in and around the prospective 200-hectare site where the port city will be built.
