From its conceptualisation, government has stressed the importance of safety and quality standards for the gas-to-shore project, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo said, adding that the standards put in place were not left to be determined by the bidders.
“We said… you can bid using only GE and Siemens equipment. They are known for having good quality equipment globally so even from the conceptualisation stage the quality and safety standards have been determined so that is an important aspect for us in safety mitigation,” Jagdeo said in response to a question from Sunday Stabroek.
