Rehabilitation of a 200-metre portion of Thomas Lands, Georgetown, will have to be redone by the contractor, Pooran Manman and Sons Contracting Services, as the asphalt work which was done is not of the required standard.
According to the Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill, the required weight which was needed to properly compress the asphalt was not used.
“The problem was…and he [the company’s contractor] was told by the engineers who have been investigating to see what’s happening, the day when he [contractor] placed the asphalt, he did not have a ten-ton roller to compress the asphalt so instead he used a three-ton roller.”
