Progress

The physical progress of works as at 31st July 2019 is 51.02% against a planned progress of 61.2% while the time progress is at 61.1 %. The Slippage in progress was due to the fact that:

  • There are also activities that the contractor had planned to execute at this time which are not implementable due to instructions and work procedures. The Contractor has submitted revised work program which was approved on 31 July 2019, however, in accordance with the conditions of the contract, the contractor will continue to update his program in the event of delays.
