President Irfaan Ali yesterday visited the site of the Gas to Energy project at Wales on the West Bank of Demerara and as sand was being stockpiled to consolidate the ground for pile driving, he was told that the first phase of the project should be completed by mid next year.
“We are already engaging in stockpiling … sand,” one of the project Managers told Ali yesterday as he pointed to areas that were being filled.
“This area here, the soil needs to be further consolidated so that the construction can be robustly built on top of it. It would require stacking sand, a couple of meters…not in all the areas but most of them… and then piles will be driven,” he added.
