Critical defects at Skeldon Factory almost remedied
– Hanoman
With the end of the defects liability drawing closer there has been some progress at the new Skeldon Factory which has had several teething problems.
This is according to Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Sugar Corporation, Errol Hanonam, who yesterday told this newspaper that the contractors have managed to remedy some of the critical defects that were identified.

He noted that up until the defects liability period comes to an end on March 20 it will be a continuous process.
Hanoman stated that the contractors have been working assiduously to rectify the defects that have been identified, adding that he believes that there will be a much better session this time around when the factory restarts on March 13.
In excess of 100 defects were found at the new Skeldon Sugar factory, with only about 10 being 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, 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.
