The $380M expansion of the Ogle International Airport is said to be 96 percent completed. The project is expected to conclude by its extended November 15 deadline. When completed, the runway will accommodate more international flights including the Liat Airlines.
This is according to Sunil Ganesh, Bridges Engineer, Ministry of Public Works and Communications. He revealed that the contractor, BK International, has completed casting all concrete slabs while minor works including sealing of the joints, grading of the shoulders and marking of the airstrip remain.
The scope of the project includes the expansions of the runway in the western direction by 2,000ft and 100ft in width; by 40ft in the northern and southern directions; and the length of the runway in the eastern direction will be increased by 200ft. The new dimension of the runway will be 4,200ft in length and 100ft in width.
Ganesh emphasised that the project commenced in August 2009 and was scheduled to be concluded within 18 months. The contractor was unable to meet that deadline and is reportedly currently paying liquidated damages to the Ministry.
