Nearly 20,000 tonnes of steel sheet piles are being stockpiled by Tristar at its planned Malgre Tout offshore base as the company prepares to begin revetment works at the facility.

The company’s mobilization of sheet piles comes following its destruction of a large swathe of mangroves from its 66-acre property at Versailles/ Malgre Tout, West Bank Demerara.

“Almost 20,000 tons of sheet pile are … in country; some already at site. The contractor is ready to work and the installation team is waiting on the final updates of all permits,” Tristar Project Manager Narendra Sukhdeo told Stabroek News.
