Works on the Bartica stelling are moving apace amidst challenges. Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Annette Ferguson told GINA that phase one of the works is 35 percent completed.
The Minister told GINA that work has been hindered due to the frequent changes of the tide which is preventing the contractors from working.
“The men cannot work in the high tide; to date they have already installed the timber piles which have to be encased in concrete, so it’s just for them to start the casting which cannot be done during the tide,” Ferguson said.
