Berbicians upset over substandard road work

Notwithstanding the volume of road works being done in the county,

residents in Berbice are upset because of the volume of substandard work being done.

Work was done on the bridge that runs over the Republic Road trench which takes residents to the National Insurance Scheme, the St Therese Primary School, the National Library, the Basketball Court and the Angoy’s Avenue areas.

The works were only completed a few months ago and holes have started to appear. The construction should have been overlaid with about two inches of asphalt. But that was not the case.  Residents are blaming the contractors for doing shoddy and substandard works.

However, contractors are not taking the blame. One contractor put the blame on the suppliers of the asphalt.

One supplier was very upset over the situation and blames the Regional Authorities and the Regional Engineer Department for allowing the situation to escalate.  The asphalt mixture is very weak and after a few days the materials start to fall apart, they said.

The supplier wants the relevant agencies to sanction those who are not living up to standard.

Taxpayers’ money is being wasted and residents want the works to be halted.

  Additionally, shortly after the asphaltic capping [1½ inch thickness] was done it started to loose and the Regional Administration informed the contractor of the defects, corrective works were done since the project was still under the defects and liability period.

Asses....Why would asphalt started to loose if its not substandard work ?

There are numerous substandard work in Berbice due to the payback of officials and contractors have to cut corners to finish a project.

At Albion someone sold the NDC a plastic culvert  and in the smarts of the NDC, they replaced the good concrete culvert, that had a good four foot square concrete drain.

The first time the tractor went over the plastic culvert to replace the dirt, the culvert  collapsed from  the tractor weight and the drain is still blocked today, causing flooding and stagnant  water for mosquito breeding.

In their smart to replace the dirt, a large bump remains that cars bottom touch as they go by, thus tearing off mufflers.   

Chronicle crap...please tell us why the BBP road now has huge potholes, just months after the road was constructed.

Why did the dumb PPP have power poles planted in the area between the road and trench at BBP, that was left vacant for hard wheel farming equipment to travel. The poles now block their path and the only available roadway for hard wheel combines is the main road, that would block traffic for hours, as slowly moving combines travel. Plus the hard wheels destroy the asphalt roadway.

Due to the planting of poles on the opposite side of the road from houses, with power lines crossing the roadway,  a person has to sit on top of combines to raise live power lines for combines to pass.

These asses don't know that it would have been better to plant the poles on the house side of the road.     

The original report is correct, there ARE substandard work in region 6 and its all because of the PPP corruption and greed.

When you put a back-dam people to run a government, what else do you expect.
