Amidst thriving production in the quarry industry,Washington State Cougars Jerseys, transportation and costs for maintenance of equipment continue to plague the rate at which materials are made available on the market.This has raised much concern in light of the fact that this state of affairs has contributed to the existence of several ‘roll over’ projects.These ‘roll-over’ projects are worth billions of dollars and are contracts which were awarded since last year.Natural Resources Minister Robert PersaudThis issue was raised at a meeting with several representatives of the quarry industry and officials of the Ministries of Finance, Public Works, Housing and Natural Resources.The meeting came in light of the fact that there were several concerns about the constraints that are affecting the construction industry and to determine solutions as soon as possible.Natural Resources Minister Robert Persaud told the gathering at the boardroom of his ministry yesterday that there are concerns about the ability of the local quarry operators to satisfy the demands of the construction sector.“The number of government projects and those from the private sector would have been affected too by the unavailability of quarry material. We have looked at some of the preliminary numbers from last year and they have pointed towards a general increase over 2012…Our aim is to ensure we have maximum output and utilization of resources made available. It pains me that we have an abundance of quarry material yet there is some level of importation and I’m not sure how you (quarry operators) view it but for me it is one of pride. We have the ability yet we have companies in the ‘ready mix business’ and they have to import as well…”Persaud added,Penn State Nittany Lions Jerseys, “The majority of roll over projects that have been awarded already include roads and this is where the concern for quarry material comes in. At the beginning of the year some companies slow down on the amount of materials they make available because they are waiting to hear about the amount of big projects first before committing to production. But we have a lot of roll over projects and availability is important.”Following the Minister’s presentation,Tavon Austin West Virginia Jersey, the floor was opened for representatives of the quarry industry to speak on the issues that have been affecting the availability of production.One representative of a quarry operating company said,Ricky Williams Texas Jersey, “The problem is not production.

The company which is responsible for 65 percent of the quarry outputs will see its production being doubled this year.He noted as well that the company encounters many difficulties in loading the barges because of the hollowness of the rivers. “Navigating the rivers is difficult and it is because of these the barges become hard to repair,NFL Jerseys Authentic China, so if we can get some assistance it would be good.”The Minister said that Maritime agencies will get involved to alleviate the issues relating to navigating through shallow rivers.Another representative of the quarry operation industry explained that their main problem is the Mabura Road which he described as being “ a living hell” since they can only traverse through the area with trucks. “The terrain is quite precarious and access is our main problem.”An official from the Public Works Ministry assured that the matter will be looked at as soon as possible.
