Major works for the US$6m Liliendaal pump station are being done offsite.
This was the explanation on Tuesday from the Ministry of Agriculture in relation to a news item in Monday’s edition of Stabroek News entitled `Work stalled on Liliendaal pump station’. The news item had reported that there hadn’t been work for days on the site and there had been no explanation. The pump station project is supposed to be completed in April this year.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Ministry said: “… works on the new pump station have reached a stage where three critical activities are occurring off-site: (1) the overseas construction and subsequent delivery of the pump units, (2) the fabrication of the discharge pipes which will transmit the drainage load from the pump station to the outfall and (3) the structural elements for the Pump house are being fabricated.
