Liquidated damages are being applied against Civcon Engineering Contractors for failing to complete the construction of the A-Line Pump Station between Versailles and Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara.

According to a statement from the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), the contractor has demobilised several pieces of equipment from the site.

“As such, the NDIA has notified the insurance company providing bonds on this project, and a file on the current situation has been sent to the Office of the Attorney General for advice on the way forward,” the statement informed.
