Dredging along the Pomeroon River should be completed in a month’s time as work on the last two miles is now underway, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Gaico Construction and General Services Inc Komal Singh said.
“We are in the final two miles, that is where we are working on right now. It will take us way into the Atlantic Ocean. [All work should be completed by the] end of February,” he said.
Singh, in a recent interview with this publication, related that the work took longer than expected due to heavy siltation at the mouth of the river. He explained that Gaico had to restructure its work plan after recognising that the dredge to be used was unable to execute work due to the siltation.
