Public Works Department Introduces Innovative Concrete Method to Extend Road Lifespan in Antigua and Barbuda

6
Works Minister Maria Browne

Cabinet Notes: The Cabinet received a high-powered team from the Public Works Department, led by its Director.

The team provided Cabinet with a 10-minute video displaying the roller compact concrete method they have formulated to international standards and tested locally.

They will soon begin to utilize this in various parts of Antigua and Barbuda.  

 The new methodology is expected to last for 30 years as the strength of the concrete measures more than 4000 psi by the 5th day.

The Public Works team has rolled out a schedule to tackle community roads in all six parishes in a phased approach.

The requirement for each community road would be identified in order to determine the method to be used in its repair or construction.

Major community roadways would utilize “the roller-compacted concrete” system, while others which see less traffic will be paved using the double chip seal system.

Major work and resources are presently being carried out at the new cemetery and at AUA to meet the requirements for the SIDS conference (May 27– 30). .

  1. Now we are being told it was a high-powered team with innovative concrete method that made the presentation. The most important information for the public is: “THE SCHEDULE FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE”

    The Cabinet propaganda artist cannot provide a schedule which he claims exist. At this point it is the media to demand a schedule.

  2. And when is the timescale and implementation Minister Browne?

    More ABLP “word salad” to appease the gullible, the naive, and make the acolytes jump for joy! 😁

    MORE ACTION, LESS WORDS MARIA…

  3. Ms. Pixie doesn’t even know what’s going on; she is merely a rubber stamp and a lid for her Kleptomaniac Spouse.

  4. Please rethink this, Jack. Since when do truck drivers only carry loads on heavy traffic roads? Has an actual assessment of the roads the need fortifying been done? Do we understand that it’s not average sedans or even SUVs that are destroying the roads, but heavy-duty equipment, particularly those that use community roads as shortcuts?
