Work on the synthetic track facility at Leonora, West Coast Demerara, is moving apace despite the inclement weather that is currently prevailing.
Already, the north eastern and north western spectators’ stands are almost 90 percent complete, while the foundation for the members stand which will be constructed between the two almost completed stands has been laid.According to the project’s consultant Deoraj Dalchand of Innovative Engineering Consultancy Services, this should be completed by the end of March this year.
Dalchand said the sanitary block under the two almost completed stands should also be completed in March.
According to the consultant, the international size football field which is part of phase three project is also 90 percent completed and in another six months or so, this will be accomplished along with the synthetic track’s perimeter lawn.
He said the laying of materials for the completion of the perimeter lawn should be completed by March this year.
Dalchand said the laying of the bottom surface of the actual tack has been completed, but the German company contracted to lay the track will have to return to Guyana when there is favourable sunshine to lay the top surface. This was a part of phase one works on the facility.
Dalchand said lot four of phase three which includes the fencing of the perimeter had to be terminated due to unforeseen circumstances and it had to be sub- divided and retendered.
According to Dalchand, this process has already been completed.
Lot five of six lots in phase three caters for the road works leading to and around the facility. This he said was also terminated.
Lot six of phase three includes the construction of sanitary blocks below the members stand and this Dalchand said would be completed in March.
The North Eastern and North Western stands are being constructed by BK International, while the members stand will be done by Dookies Construction.
The completion of the parking lot and South stands sanitary block is also a part of phase three of the project.
