Gaico Construction & General Services Inc. has confirmed that construction at the Belle Vue Pump Station is moving forward on schedule, with significant progress made in recent weeks. The project, located on the West Bank of Demerara, is a key component of Guyana’s ongoing efforts to improve flood control and water management infrastructure in the region.

According to Gaico Construction, the foundational works have been completed, and installation of the main pump units is currently underway. The company reports that all critical materials and equipment are on site, and teams are working extended hours to ensure timely completion.

The Belle Vue Pump Station is designed to boost drainage capacity for surrounding communities, which have historically been vulnerable to flooding during heavy rainfall and high tides. Once operational, the facility will significantly reduce the risk of waterlogging and provide much-needed relief to farmers and residents alike.

Project managers noted that collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and other stakeholders has been smooth, with regular site inspections and quality control checks in place. Safety protocols are being strictly observed, and local workers have been engaged as part of the construction crew, providing employment opportunities for the area.

Gaico Construction reaffirmed its commitment to delivering the project on time and to the highest standards. The pump station is expected to be fully operational before the end of the year, marking another milestone in Guyana’s drive to modernize its critical infrastructure and enhance climate resilience.
