Before and present

The period April 15th to 30th, 2015 has revealed a tremendous amount of work on the Banse/La Haut, Laborie Village Main Road Project. Though drainage works are ongoing on the Banse Road, the volume of works done within the two weeks, April 15th - 30th at the La Haut end of the project is breathtaking.(As seen in video) The work is moving at an incredible pace. CIE's works supervisor, Venay said that the project will be completed before Christmas. "We have to move fast on the La Haut side to lay the sub-base before the rain comes, to avoid the mud" he remarked.

Venay, a soft gentle person makes no bones about productivity from his workers. I personally recalled him chastising an operator of a heavy equipment for not producing the volume of work he was supposed to have completed within a specified time. He mentioned that he makes sure that about 60m  and about 1km of road are complete daily.

One huge retaining wall has been completed and two more are nearing the final stages. Many kilometres of drains - Kerb and slipper, as well as the laying of sub-base are continually being done on a daily basis.

Is work is progressing smoothly? Speaking to the Ministry's on-site technicians, they too are quite satisfied with the speed at which the work is going. As for the quality of work, "Nothing to complain about." One remarked. " Things are going as planned." The  other continues.
