HTC's Notable Projects

HydroTerre Consultants, Inc. (HTC), in its early years of corporate existence, has already gained a wide range of experience and demonstrated its technical capability in providing consultancy services notwithstanding the fact that it started full-time corporate operations only in 1993. As a firm, HTC has now been involved in a number of water and land resources development projects for various important clients in the Philippines and abroad, a clear manifestation of clients' growing acceptance and confidence on HTC's competence as engineering consultants and as a partner in development.
