We have been informed that the third-party works have been completed and the scaffolding is being removed. We are now in a position to install our scaffolding on Monday, 31st March, in preparation for the dam installation on Tuesday, 1st April.

An updated notice will be provided by Friday, 4th April.

Unfortunately, due to third-party work on-site, we have been unable to access the work area safely.

The scaffold is positioned in a way that restricts our access. We will need to wait until their work is completed, which is scheduled for March 21st, before we can mobilise.

In the meantime, we are coordinating with the third-party contractors to explore the possibility of an earlier access date,

We will provide an update if any new information becomes available before March 21st.

A repair plan has now been finalised, and our operatives are scheduled to mobilise and begin work on March 3rd.
