CHEC to carry out US$138mn Cheddi Jagan airport expansion project
Bnamericas Published: Monday, November 21, 2011
Guyana's cabinet has approved a US$138mn contract with the China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) to design and carry out a project to expand the Cheddi Jagan international airport (CJIA). The expansion involves extending the runway to some 3.29km to accommodate large transatlantic aircrafts including the Boeing 747, according to a release on the presidential website. Work also entails the construction of a new terminal building, eight boarding bridges, and improved infrastructure such as elevators, escalators and new security systems. The project is slated to begin in early 2012 and will take 32 months to complete. The initiative will allow Cheddi Jagan to meet the needs of projected traffic for several years, and become a hub for regional and continental traffic, according to the release. In Latin America, CHEC is undertaking US$460mn worth of projects in Jamaica, and has secured contracts to the tune of US$212mn for infrastructure works in Mexico.
