…no formal response from Chinese contractors as yet – HanomanThe Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has made an official request to the Chinese contractors hired to construct the new Skeldon Sugar factory to extend the defects liability period which came to an end on Saturday last.This was confirmed by GuySuCo’s Chief Executive Officer,Javier Mascherano Barcelona Jersey, Errol Hanoman,Edson Puch Jersey, who said that as of yesterday there was no formal response to the request.The defects liability period is the duration of time that was allotted to identify deficiencies,Marc Bartra Barcelona Jersey, and all such deficiencies identified in that allotted time have to be remedied by the contractors. Subsequent to that any defects will have to be addressed by GuySuCo.Hanoman stressed that the request for the extension is in no way reflective of a suspicion of that there are any critical defects still unidentified.The CEO said the request is in light of the fact that the final test run is scheduled in the coming days and the company would prefer to have the exercise conducted during the defects liability period.This would be better for the company,Mauricio Isla Chile Jersey, according to Hanoman,David Pizarro Jersey, given that any defects identified will then be addressed by the contractors.Prior to the period’s official expiration,Thomas Vermaelen Barcelona Jersey, Hanoman had informed this newspaper that the contractors had managed to remedy some of the critical defects that were identified. At that time he noted that up until the defects liability period came to an end on March 20,Mark Gonzalez Jersey, it would have been a continuous process.In excess of 100 defects were found at the new Skeldon Sugar factory,Fabian Orellana Chile Jersey, with 10 being considered as critical.Subject Minister Robert Persaud recently told the Economic Services Commission that the Chinese contractors will stay on to ensure that all of the defects are remedied.Hanoman supported this notion,Enzo Roco Chile Jersey, telling the Committee that the Chinese have expressed confidence in remedying the identified defects.He added that by August this year all should be addressed. |
