Sewerage Contractor now saddled with road repairs
The excavation works at Battery Road
The contractor tasked with laying out a new length of sewage pipe along Battery Road Kingston, may have to do additional work now that the road has begun to cave in as a result of his excavation works.
Apparently, the works are to repair a section of damaged sewage pipe in the vicinity of Demerara Timbers Company. The contractor began work on the area last week and excavated a trench approximately four feet deep and three feet wide.
This trench runs along the fence of Demerara Timbers Company.
However, in the last two days, the road along the side of the trench has started to cave in.
It is unclear when was the last day that the contractor actually had workers on site but persons from the company apparently visited yesterday morning but they did not attempt to do any work.
Workers in the area say that the weight of the constant parade of trucks coming from the BK Stone Depot at the end of the road may be the cause of the collapse.
They also pointed out that because the road is unpaved, when there is heavy rain, the road becomes a slush filled nightmare for the workers in the buildings along the street.
