The Ministry of Agriculture, under its capital works programme, yesterday signed off on close to $2 billion in contracts and $1.3b has been earmarked for the aging Liliendaal Pump Station.

Regarded as the “first tranche” of contracts from its $32B budgetary allocation, a contract to the value of $1.3 billion was signed for the rehabilitation of the Liliendaal Pump Station under the Guyana Flood Risk Management Project which is supported by the World Bank via the Agriculture Sector Development Unit’s Sustainable Agricultural Development Project (ASDU-SADP). The rehabilitation works will see the pump station improving its capacity to assist in the drainage of Georgetown and the Ogle, East Coast Demerara catchment. The rehabilitation works valued at $1,288,805,122 will be undertaken by General Engineering Supplies and Services while CEMCO will be executing supervisory works at $43.7M.
