No shortage of crusher-run stone in Guyana – BK Int’l
BK Quarries has confirmed that there is no shortage of crusher-run stone or stone of any kind in Guyana contrary to complaint by Permanent Secretary, Collin Croal, of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development.
On Thursday, Croal at the Ministry’s weekly press briefing had said that there was a shortage of crusher-run nationally affecting the construction of community road projects by a number of Neighbourhood Democratic Councils.
But, BK International in a statement yesterday dismissed Croal’s comment as inaccurate. “BK International wishes to confirm that there is no shortage of stone of any kind in Guyana and that BK Quarries is in a position to provide any quantity of stone required for construction,” the release stated.
According to the company, it is not prepared to extend credit to contractors who are either unable to pay on time or are in the habit of making payments over extended periods or, in a number of case, not at all.
The release said that BK International recently refurbished its quarry plant increasing capacity from 350,000 to 550,000 tons per year.
BK Quarries can currently provide 25,000 tons of crusher run stone and 10,000 tons of other aggregate per month.
