Minister for Infrastructure Development, Dennis Conwell in a recent statement says, so far his "Ministry is satisfied with the ongoing works," and adds "Despite the issues faced with the weather the project will be completed on time. And the excavation done so far 100% of the piling has taken place…...." In spite of the heavy rains in Grenada recently which have slowed down the project, the Minister believes that the project is still on track and should be able to finish within the 10 months we have initially indicated.
CIE Ltd engineer on site, Avanish
Dabhari, gave an update on the works being done. "…currently, we put around
32 locations to pile….one pile length is around 11.52m and a total of 62 piles
have been driven, and there are around two test piles additional. So a total of 33
locations we are done piling, and next time after the piling we reach up to the
required level, and after, we are going ahead with doing the blinding and pile cap foundation.”
Avanish continued, “Within the next couple of weeks you will see the pile cap foundation will get done and the next level is the structural backfilling.”
The Moliniere road which was closed in 2019 is no longer safe for motorists due to the land slippage. As a result, residents of the area are being cautioned not to travel the Moliniere main road while it is under construction as the site is not suitable for onlookers or passersby.
