The Air­ports Au­thor­i­ty has as­sured that im­pend­ing land­slip and slope sta­bil­i­sa­tion works at the ANR Robin­son In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port will not de­lay the open­ing of the new ter­mi­nal in To­ba­go.

The Au­thor­i­ty re­cent­ly is­sued a re­quest for pro­pos­als for civ­il, earth­works and ge­ot­ech­ni­cal en­gi­neer­ing con­sul­tan­cy ser­vices to un­der­take the project. A vir­tu­al site vis­it was sched­uled for Au­gust 3.

Re­spond­ing to ques­tions from Guardian Me­dia last week, the Au­thor­i­ty said the in­fra­struc­tur­al works were “nor­mal” and will be car­ried out in the south­west­ern zone of the aero­drome. It stressed that the project is sep­a­rate from prepa­ra­tions for the new east­ern ter­mi­nal and will not af­fect its op­er­a­tional­i­sa­tion.
