British contractor suspended over Iloilo flyover project

ILOILO CITY, Philippines — The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has suspended the British contractor of a flyover project in Iloilo City due to alleged discrepancies in some portions of the project, its central office has said.

The DPWH reached the decision after it found out that the contractor for the P400-million project, Mabey and Johnson Ltd., failed to comply with the project’s specifications, including the required strength of reinforced bars of the piers, said Rolando Asis, DPWH regional director.

The piers hold the columns supporting the flyover structure.

Asis said that the contractor failed to meet the requirement of the flyover’s tensile strength and yielding point of “Grade 60.”

Earlier on, we read a report from Hill-Carnes, the engineering company contracted by 3S Barbados SRL to carry out geological work on the integrity of the foundation of the flyovers and four- lane highway. How convenient it seems that for months Barbadians have been clamoring for information about the project, and at this late hour snippets of information are starting to slowly roll-out. Let’s get down to brasstacks: Barbadians want to see a copy of the report Hill-Carnes, and NOW!

Bizzy Williams, please confirm the grade steel you intend to use in the piers on Barbados flyovers. Barbadians want to know, NOW!

    Another day another scam in our faces , why does it seem that everything these people touch is dishonest and bastardly?
    Why is there not a single project been able to be completed on time and within budget?
    I put it to you that this is all part of the bigger picture to swindle the taxpayers out of their hard earned cash and redirect it to the pockets of our masters.
    I am still awaiting news on what Owing collected to reroute the Batts Rock road that now deprives citizens from the lovely drive along the beach to a new restricted area?

    Just when you thought that it could get no worst look what pops up for all to see, we have a fraud working for one that is also carrying out dishonest acts that will cost us peoples lives.
    No wonder Danos and Mabey and Johnson worked so well together they are all frauds with a mission to rape us.

    I read the two-year delay info of Hillis-Carnes after BAPE confronted the Highway project. How come that no mention was made of the fractures and decomposed limestone that was reported earlier. Probably, the report submitted by the first engineers might have caused problems and the reason for a new damage control team. I would like to know the reason for the delay or the voice of the people have overpowered them.

    Recently Grenville Phillips III expressed concern that the steel used in Barbados was banned in the USA. He went on to say that the steel produced in Trinidad which is used by Structural Systems and others is a steel of lower quality used to supply low risk projects like roads. It would be interesting to know the quality steel proposed on the flyovers and other projects

    I was just checking back on past Nation Newspapers and came across the October 30, 2005 issue.
    During the Barbados Labour Anuual conference, a gentleman by the name of George Siddall, the Project Manager of 3S Barbados SRL . This is what he said “We’re widening out the whole of the length of the ABC Highway between the Garfield Sobers Roundabout in the south and the Darcy Scott Roundabout at Warrens in the north” I am wondering why Mr. Mascoll would have defended the said Mr. Siddall since he only joined The Barbados Labour Party in January 2006.
    I would like an answer why the cost of the flyovers had to be increase to the magnitude of $360 million, when Government already had plans and had intentions of widening the entire road. Since the final testing was only completed in March, probably the reason for Mr. Siddall spoke of the tripling of work/cost.

    Frankology, from what I understand there are several factors that caused the cost to increase to $360 million – here are the major ones:

    1 – steel prices have increased by about 40% from 2005 to now – steel is a major component of the project due to the flyovers. I think this is excusable as it is not a factor that could easily be controlled or necessarily forecast at that time.

    2 – the utility works were not estimated correctly and there are/were several oversights/overruns related to the 69kv cable running along the highway from the Belle to Warrens. There was also an unexpected maze of utilities that needed to be moved in Warrens. This is less excusable but the fault should be equally bourne by the utilities and the project. Some argue that some of this work was unnecessary – for instance moving BL&P cables that were fine and have a very low failure rate because MPT didn’t want anyone digging up the new road even though the related risk was very small.

    3 – the regrading of the Bermuda triangle stretch was not in the original cost from what I understand but was deemed necessary from a safety perspective.

    4 – this one has had virtually no attention. There was no contract signed before commencement of works and a major part of this is agreeing per unit costs of the civil works for the road widening. Because there is an abundance of construction projects going on in the island, the project had to pay premium rates to the subcontractors to get them to do the work. Otherwise they would have had little incentive to push themselves to do the work. This probably ended up costing 10 to 15% more – but that is my guesstimate.

    I am not aware of any major scope changes but one other thing that may have been an addition is the jersey barriers – I am not certain that they were in the original plan.

    The Government screwed themselves on this – the cost was never going to be B$120 or B$140 million though they insisted on using these figures at the beginning. A more reasonable estimate at the time was B$200 to B$240 – now it is B$360 an increase of about 60% to 65%.

    I’d roughly attribute the overruns listed above as:

    1-steel 15%-20%
    2-utilities 10%-15%
    3-Bermuda triangle – 5%-10%
    4-premiums to subs – 5%-10%

    That only adds up to 35% to 55% increase but I don’t know the details (these are guesstimates) and I don’t know what other components there would be.

    If the Memorandum of Understanding contained the agreed amount in the first place, we would not be discussing this now. I said the road widening section for a dual carriageway from Warrens to Gary Sobers roundabout was known since September 2005 during the Barbados Labour Party Annual Conference. That simply mean, any new scope of work was really the amount of money that should have been included for the Flyovers, since 200% over-runs is impossible.
    By the way, who is building the flyovers? What is the individual cost of manufacturing each flyover, the cost of erection and any other surprises?
    By your own admission re: Section 4, we can see the reason for the over runs. In an earlier blob, I spoke of Government and 3S Barbados SRL might have signed with the cost omitted from the contract, and Mr. Siddall inform the Barbadian Public on August 25, 2007. What a laugh

    Calling Mosquito. BFP and BU readers are awaiting your submissions, especially the damage controlled story from Hillis-Carnes after the initial report of the negative aspect of our limestones. The said flyover project by Mabey & Johnson had problems with a cave-in on the same flyover project. see http://thedailyguardian.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1837&Itemid=1about

    I didn’t confirm it – 3S did weeks ago, that’s my source for the current estimated cost.

    The most pertinant question that anyone has asked is why didn’t the Gov’t manage the message properly by communicating honestly with the country.

    If they were upfront about the true estimated cost at the start, people wouldn’t be as shocked by a 65% overrun as the are over what appears to be a 200% overrun.

    To the hand to mouth idiot Royaljackass,
    Mr Thompson that you are so taken with can and will continue to ask the hard questions of your leadership or lack thereof of course there is major corruption in every project that this adminstration has taken on and you ask why well because it is their method of extracting monies from the taxpayers to their personal bank accounts I have tried to keep it in simple terms as I know this is where your small brain functions.
    He Arthur has been involved in every kickback arrangement that has taken place in this island in the last 14 years he is red handed crook just as Hallam Nicholls and Glyne Bannister are as well.
    Stop shoving your head in the sand you idiot and tell us the taxpayers where the Fu____G money has gone to with the PRISON that is three times over budget being built by a company that is know and charged for bribing politicians,because you refused to award it to the local contractors because they refused to pay Owing, Nicholls and Bannister the 7 % commission that they requested I assume you see nothing illegal in this request either, or the dishonest bastard Danos being awarded the road works project all the while he is facing fraud charges in the UK, meanwhile they casually reveal that the price now increases to a whopping $ 360 million taxpayers dollars,or what about the Warrens building cost overruns there $ 5 million and counting by the time that the courts are finished with them it could well exceed $ 125 million, what about the Baths that Liz Thompsons husband built no cost over runs there are they?
    Then we have the fiasco of Macolls Hardwood that he is shafting everyone with they collect $ 2 million of our taxpayers monies and and the equipment that they purchase with this $ 2 million is brought in the Managing Director’s name not Hardwood name but the Director’s name who in turn least the same equipment back to them at Hardwood, let me remind you this is all our money that these Rats are sharing out among themselves and their friends.
    The Prime Minister the AG and the DPM have many things to face up to and address, this lot must rate as simply the most corrupt lot of scamps ever collected in the house of assembly, this lot have single handly raped this countries treasury to the point of no return.
    You see my friend many of us are not so loyal to any party to stick our heads in the sand and ignore the dishonesty that is this BLP party, I have voted for he BLP on 3 occassions but not this time, your first two terms you did offer some hope but sadly you have become too corrupt for your own good and the extent of your stealing is at an all time high, lord help us please.
    Why would you feel this way is beyond me-:
    Let me say now that the PM does not have to answer any questions from the lil boy Thompson.
    Why maybe because he is unable to come out and speak truthfully about any subfect because they all implicate him in some form of corruption or the other.
    He nor none of them have even attempted to speak on the issue of the corrupt company VECO getting the triple costing Prison, the triple costing Prison with another charged before the courts, with a paper company of 5 persons employed with a $ 360 million contract, does it not alert you that they must have steal in there, they have said nothing about Hardwood other than Arthur pulling a sham the other night with boxes, how can Mr Thompson take the matter to the PAC when Hardwood has not filed any accounts todate?

    Welcome back Mosquito
    What happen to the earlier Hillis-Carnes report about the highly fractured and decomposed limestone. What about the said Mabey & Johnson who was working on a flyover in the Phillipines that caved in. Did the engineer include in their report the holes within the St. Barnabas area

    It would be interesting to know what the report stated about how the piers should be sunk in the Warrens area which is riddled with holes like Swiss Cheese. Lets hope that they avoided the people who worked on the NHC Warrens Building!

    David

    Another question for our friend mosquito who is obviously a PR person. Hill-Carnes was reported to have said that they did their testing in late 2006 by sinking over 100 test holes. Was the cost of this testing part of the initial costs of $60 million USD which subsequently moved to $70 US or is that cost part of the ‘over runs’??

  24. Frankology Avatar

    This is the said flyover in the Philippines where its base cave-in and the inferior steel was used. I am wondering who did the geological assessment prior to the commencement of that highway. Do we want the same problem in Barbados?

    Just like David, I am concern with the fractured limestone for the flyover bases in the area of Warrens and St. Barnabas.

    By the way, we have not heard about the Insurance Company for any litigation payment.

    Sorry this was meant for posting at BFP -:
    YYILI, Take off the blinkers my friend and look around.
    Yes I may add 2 and 2 and get 22 according to the word of YYILI, but there is one thing for sure I can also look around and see that the gov’t has awarded the prison contract to VECO which clearly is known to bribe politicians (and do not suggest for a moment that ours are not) over and above a local group of companies that pulled out all the stops to assist this same group of crooks in making accomodations ready for these prisoners in very short order, but this group was neglected because they refused to pay the 7 % commission to Owing, Nicholls and Bannister, these scamps never had any intention of giving out this work locally as this would put a limit to scope of their ability to steal.
    Secondly when I add 2 and 2 and get 22 when I see that this road works project is heaped in dishonesty and corruption not to forget that they have yet again gone into bed with another fraud bearing in mind he has been charged and found guilty of fraud against his parent company, it is just to closely related that in two projects alone we have our gov’t doing underhand deals with dishonest bastards like VECO and DANOS if they are not a corrupt bunch then they are all saints.
    Then when I add 2 and 2 and I get 22 it reminds me that we have this scandal of Hardwood Holdings $ 2 million of my taxpayers money lent to this company with the director owning the equipment and he is leasing it back to Hardwood at greatly increased cost, this is yet again an amazing feat, then he molest three women in the office and attempts to fire them for not doing what he wanted to do with them he is one nastything. Then we have Tony Hoyos sitting as chairman of hardwood and granting a loan to himself from the BEGFL (our taxpayers monies once again).
    And you want to malign us for saying these people have got to be the most dishonest bastards to ever grace the halls of Cabinet or the House of Assembly?
    Give me a break with dishonesty as this is I trust that there is a whole wing awaiting them at Harrisons, no we are not mixing them with the hardened criminals this bunch will teach too many new tricks.

    Engineers want info on lights
    Published on: 10/11/07.

    THE BARBADOS ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS (BAPE)

    is calling for full disclosure on the street lighting to be used at the end of the Operation Freeflow road-widening project being undertaken by 3S Barbados SRL.

    In a Press release on Monday, BAPE also called for an analysis to determine what impact, if any, the choice of street lights would have on maintenance and operating costs.

    BAPE said 3S SRL should also give details on windspeed and loads used in the design of lighting poles and their supports.

    The association charged that the original 75 millimetre and 100 metre conduits for street lighting were removed and replaced with 50 millimetre conduits.

    “The larger conduits in the original design would have permitted some redundancy in the cabling installed and therefore improved reliability of the street lights.

    “A failure of one cable would not result in all lights failing at the same time. BAPE is very concerned that the smaller conduits may not permit this level of redundancy.”

    Additionally, BAPE has urged officials of 3S to provide information on the street lighting design and mitigation measures in place to address this concern.

    ‘THE RESULTS FROM THESE TESTS ALLOWED FOR THE DESIGN OF EASH FLYOVER TO MATCH THE CORRESPONDING SOIL CONDITIONS MAKING THEM ENTIRELY SAFE AND ENSURING THE LONGELEVITY OF EACH STRAUCTURE.’

    Additionally he complimented 3S barbados for having the geo – technical research done as a precautionary measure.

    In fact many other companies are now flowing the lead of 3S and are employing geo technical research prior to building projects.

    One wonders why BAPE in its collective wisdom hasnt made this recomendation to all its members?

    I must hand it to 3S for employing a geo-technical company to test the areas for the flyovers in March 2006 and 2007 after getting the contract in 2005 and commenced work in mid 2006. Do you think it was after the fact due from the pressures from BAPE, and knowledgeable people who have fundamental reason why these flyovers be put on hold?

    Other companies always produce reports before the start of any work. Stop fooling the public, because it is mandatory for any major development to submit an Impact Study along with Geo-technical reports since no Insurance Company would associate themselves with the developer or builder. So this is not a first for 3S Barbados SRL or 3S Structural Steel Solutions LLC.

    1) Philipines
    2) Papua New Guinea
    3) Iraq (the Volkler report uncovered a payment from the firm to (now deposed dictator) Saddam Hussein’s personal bank account of 204,000 GBP)

    Do a google search with Mabey and Johnson and corruption and up pops a load of stuff!!

    Now we are glad we don’t have M&J builing the flyovers!

    Maybe 3s are no better?

    But since this allegedly corrupt company are taking Danos to court, how legitimate can this action be? Maybe he’s not such a bad guy for wanting to leave M&J. OR maybe he is a graduate of the M&J University of Skullduggery?

    I’m not a PR man for the project – I think my contributions have been useful in helping explain how it’ll work. Most people don’t understand because it hasn’t been explained to them and that is obvious from their remarks.

    I’m not an apologist – I agree that the management of the project has been poor from start till now.

    But I will continue to contribute otherwise these blogs will continue to be one-sided and narrow-minded in the way issues are addressed. That’s the glory of a blog buddy.

While you on the other hand is praising a contractor in-training with questionable credentials and no formal experience. Let me state that I have no connections or financial dealings what-so-ever with C O. Williams. To answer David’s question, you never answer any submissions posted and that is why you have lost all creditability.

    There is a difference between slapping some tarmac on a few potholes and designing and managing to high standards a major project like this. That is why international experts who take the trouble to do research are involved. The work being done on the ABC under the supervision of 3S is of a higher standard than is usually done in Barbados. Why? because international standards are higher than here. There is more competition out in the wide world and standards have to be higher.
