Strengthening Guyana’s road network the Romix way
By Stabroek staff June 30, 2009 in Guyana Review
(A farewell to potholes)
Infrastructure Development
Romix, a South African company known for research into road construction technology believes it can play a role in improving Guyana’s coastal and interior road networks, including the road link between Guyana and Brazil.
Romix has spent twelve years working with The Council for Scientific and Industrial Reasearch (CSIR) in South Africa creating what Managing Director Pieter Prinsloo describes as “innovative road construction technologies” that seeks to “build long-lasting, quality roads; to reduce the time spent on construction by 90% and to reduce construction Prinsloo and Trinidad and Tobago-born Evelyn Lewis-Mwamba, who is the Regional Distributor for Romix products, spent a week in Guyana meeting with government officials including Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and municipal officials and overseeing trials of the Polymex road construction products on the Mabura road and Prinsloo says that the choice of the Mabura road was intended to demonstrate that the technology can be applied “on some of the most challenging surfaces.”
He says that the outcome of the Mabura “trials” could persuade Guyana to embrace the Polymer option which could also be an option for the Linden/Lethem road. Following discussions with local officials Romix has secured the services of the South African consulting engineering firm Sizotech to conduct a technical survey of the road project the results of which will be made available to the government. Sizotech has conducted similar studies for Romix in the Cameroon.
Prinsloo says that he is “particularly confident” about the role that the Polymer technology can play in remedying the pothole problem plaguing Guyana’s coastal roads, The process of fixing potholes using Polymer material involves, first the removal of loose material from the potholes then applying a liquid resin to the edges of the fractured area to stabilise and to seal the area to prevent the ingress of water at a later stage.
If the pothole is particularly deep the area is restabilised using a mixture that includes ordinary laterite material. That material is compacted into the hole and a cold asphalt mixture is then poured on top of it then compacted into the surface. “After five minutes the road can then be opened to the heaviest traffic,” Prinsloo says.
The labour-intensive nature of the technology is also good for Guyana. Workers can be taught to apply Polymer products during a ten minute demonstration,” Princeloo.
The Georgetown City Council has evinced a keen interest in the Polymer technology and plans are in train for Romix to conduct two sets of trials on potholes on urban streets.
Nota del editor del blog: Al referenciarse a la República Cooperativa de Guyana se deben de tener en cuenta los 159.500Km2, de territorios ubicados al oeste del río Esequibo conocidos con el nombre de Guayana Esequiba o Zona en Reclamación sujetos al Acuerdo de Ginebra del 17 de febrero de 1966.
Territorios estos sobre los cuales el gobierno Venezolano en representación de la Nación venezolana se reservo sus derechos sobre los territorios de la Guayana Esequiba en su nota del 26 de mayo de 1966, al reconocerse al nuevo Estado de Guyana.
“...por lo tanto, Venezuela reconoce como territorio del nuevo Estado, el que se sitúa al este de la margen derecha del río Esequibo y reitera ante la comunidad internacional, que se reserva expresamente sus derechos de soberanía territorial sobre la zona que se encuentra en la margen izquierda del precitado río; en consecuencia, el territorio de la Guayana Esequiba sobre el cual Venezuela se reserva expresamente sus derechos soberanos, limita al Este con el nuevo Estado de Guyana, a través de la línea del río Esequibo, tomando éste desde su nacimiento hasta su desembocadura en el Océano Atlántico...”
Indudablemente que los actuales dirigentes de Guyana están acelerando sus proyectos de consolidar la posesión de facto en la Guayana Esequiba ya que han aumentado el otorgamiento de concesiones mineras y madereras.
En referencia a la red vial existe una evidente contradicción los analistas, politólogos e investigadores históricos deben de escudriñar, reseñar y especular sobre una serie de informaciones contrapuestas entre sí entre ellas las siguientes:
