Local company seeking to build clay brick factory in Berbice

Local trading and logistics company Dequan Shipping and Trading Inc is seeking to build a clay brick manufacturing company in Berbice, the first for that county, and has applied for the requisite permissions..

The Environmental Protection Agency yesterday notified of the project, in the state-owned Guyana Chronicle, stating also that the clay would be extracted from land owned by the developer and the excavated pits will be used for aquaculture projects in the future.

It also informed that the company plans to use “efficient kiln technologies” in the use of making the blocks.
