-says no word yet on added costs

Public Works Minister Juan Edghill says that CEMCO Inc has acknowledged design flaws in the ongoing $1.4b Port Kaituma Stelling project where fissures occurred, necessitating remedial work.

Any additional costs are not yet clear, the minister said.

“We are now looking at the solution we think we have found. We are now remedying that. We could have been more advanced but some of the materials we have to use, we are working collaboratively to source… and I can give you the assurance it will be completed and the people will have the service they deserve,” Edghill told the Sunday Stabroek when contacted.
