CLSG project continues even in Bad weather

Abidjan, CI, Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018: EPC Contractors hired by TRANSCO CLSG to implement the CLSG interconnection project are an eternally optimistic group that never seem to allow any weather-related impacts on construction activities. Therefore, civil and other construction works continue unabated across the CLSG countries.

It has been raining heavily in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea respectively, but reports from the CLSG project construction sites speak volume of continued work activities to meet project delivery timeline.

Many would see weather disruptions as the direct time lost during the bad weather. Unfortunately, some event can cause damage to partly completed structures including the transmission tower foundations, etc, which could take days or weeks to fix. Recovering from one hour of rain could take some day to dry and clean debris from an area as well as wait for materials to dry out, but there are already mitigating measures in place to reduce the impact of the rain on the project schedule.
