The most modern asphalt plant to ever operate within the region has arrived in Guyana, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.
This is according to the Ministry of Public Infrastructure. The German-made plant was inspected yesterday at the Demerara Shipping Wharf.
General Manager within Demerara Harbour Bridge Company Rawlston Adams said that the asphalt plant will be a major asset for Guyana. In a press release, the Public Infrastructure Ministry said Adams related that the plant will reduce constructions costs for asphalt-surfaced roads. This is attributed to the specifications of the plant.
Additionally, the plant will be in conformity with the demands of local and international markets.
The General Manager stated, “all of the parts for the plant have arrived in Guyana and it’s only a matter of time before the Corporation finalises all of the paperwork and begin delivering the equipment to Garden of Eden.”
With the completion of the installation design being spearheaded by the Demerara Harbour Bridge Company, tenders for the construction phase of the asphalt plant are expected to soon begin. Installation of the modern asphalt plant is expected to be completed by September, DPI said.
