Let’s try compressed inter-locked concrete plate revetment

Sep 14, 2008 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
As a Dutch-oriented civil engineer with more than 25 years of practical experience in such a capacity, to which I am specialised in “Hydro-concrete, water and civil engineering”, I am appealing to the relevant authorities in Guyana to kindly give compressed inter-locked concrete-plates revetment a chance.

Which is in the likeness to once again display such efficiency, consistency and sustainability of water-concrete works engineering, as it was in the ancient time, especially from Dutch caliber, in Guyana?

I have concisely outlined a proposal that we construct inter-locked compressed concrete plates revetment alongside the Demerara River channel bed, adjacent to the devastated clay-built/earthen sea dam, which is aiding additional problems of massive erosion and which is causing destruction to rural and residential areas.

In particular, I am referring to Hope Village water front and as from lot No. 55 Friendship Village water front to the Garden of Eden drainage trenches, on the East Bank Demerara highway.

By this means of executing revetment and land reclamation works in other distressed areas of concern, leading to sea and river defences, spaces for dumping garbage, mud-slushes from de-silting, cleaning and clearing internal drains and trenches in and around residential areas and waste materials, can possibly be made available in a large scale.

Also, land filling on its foreshores can be so imminent, creating land spaces for Recreational, Industrial, Commercial, Educational, Residential and Ecclesiastical purposes and where as, our capital city and its environs can be much more environmentally friendly; drains in and around other residential areas can be cleaned and wastes be dumped as land filling.

Please, I sincerely crave your attention, “Oh relevant authorities of my native Guyana”; please consider such an outlined proposal, which is awaiting perusal at your Go-Invest Office and let us protect and safeguard our dear country from pollution caused by garbage dumping and together with other residential areas from flooding.

In such a pursuit, I am willing to contribute not only my skills of such an engineering capacity but also to serve my native Guyana voluntarily (without a salary) as a philanthropist with the Caribbean Outlook Foundation, Inc., which is based in the Netherlands and affiliates in Guyana.

I can urgently be in Guyana, as early as November, 2008, only if I am being requested in doing so by the relevant authorities in Guyana.
