INFRASTRUCTURAL works at the Belle Vue Pump Station are advancing steadily as part of the government’s wider efforts to strengthen flood resilience and water management systems along Guyana’s coast.

Gaico Construction and General Services Inc., the contractor for the project, has provided an update on key milestones achieved to date.
According to the company, the access road to the site has been successfully completed up to the crush-run level. This is a critical development that will facilitate the movement of equipment and personnel as construction enters more intensive phases.

Currently, the team is focused on landfilling activities and preparing the crane pad ahead of upcoming pile driving operations. These activities are essential in laying a strong foundation for the pump station, which is expected to play a major role in mitigating flooding and improving drainage in the surrounding agricultural and residential areas.
Heavy equipment—including cranes, excavators, and site offices—has already been mobilised, ensuring that operations continue without delay.

Gaico emphasised that the upgrades not only support safe and efficient execution of works, but also contribute to creating a more comfortable and productive environment for its workforce.
The Belle Vue Pump Station project is one of several initiatives being undertaken to modernise Guyana’s drainage and irrigation infrastructure in the face of climate change. Once completed, the facility will significantly improve water-flow management and protect vulnerable communities from seasonal flooding.
Gaico Construction reaffirmed its commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure that supports sustainable development and resilient communities.
