CGX Energy has announced that the construction of its wharf platform for the Berbice Deep Water Port (BDWP) is scheduled to commence in September and operationalisation of the offshore oil and gas support shore base is set for mid-2022.
In a statement, CGX said that work is on-going on the access road and connecting bridge, relocation of utilities, and major construction of the site along the Berbice River, and noted that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Grand Canal Industrial Estates Inc (GCIE), the company has been engaged in civil works related to the construction of the BDWP on 30 acres of land on the eastern bank of the Berbice River, adjacent to Crab Island.
“Construction of the wharf platform and access trestle are currently scheduled to begin in September 2021. The facility is designed to have a wharf platform of 220m length and 30m width, accessed by a 50m trestle. An approved dredging program is intended to ensure continual unencumbered access to supply and cargo vessels. Depth is targeted to be maintained at a 7m (23 ft) low-tide draft within the berth area and access channel that leads to the BDWP pier,” the statement informed.
