CABINET NOTES – The Cabinet received a high-powered team from the Public Works Department, led by its Director. The team provided Cabinet with a 10-minute video displaying the roller compact concrete method they have formulated to international standards and tested locally.

They will soon begin to utilize this in various parts of Antigua and Barbuda. The new methodology is expected to last for 30 years as the strength of the concrete measures more than 4000 psi by the 5th day.

The Public Works team has rolled out a schedule to tackle community roads in all six parishes in a phased approach.

The requirement for each community road would be identified in order to determine the method to be used in its repair or construction.

Major community roadways would utilize “the roller-compacted concrete” system, while others which see less traffic will be paved using the double chip seal system.

Major work and resources are presently being carried out at the new cemetery and at AUA to meet the requirements for the SIDS conference (May 27– 30 2024).
