Minister of Public Works, Bishop Juan Edghill, has affirmed that there will be no compromise on quality at the government-operated asphalt plant.
Edghill, accompanied by a team of senior technical staff from his ministry, recently conducted a visit to the facility, where he emphasised the need for operational excellence to support the country’s infrastructure agenda.
During the visit, the team assessed the facility’s current operational capabilities and identified areas for immediate improvement.
Following the tour, the minister convened a meeting with the plant’s management team, where he outlined his expectations for the facility.
He emphasised the need for strict quality control, production efficiency, and robust management systems.
“The asphalt produced here is the foundation of our national road network. We cannot compromise on quality,” Minister Edghill stated.
He charged the technical staff to ensure that every batch meets rigorous standards to guarantee the longevity of road projects across the country.
The minister also addressed the need for improved efficiency in production.
With the ministry’s aggressive timeline for infrastructure development, he noted that the plant must optimise its output to avoid delays in road construction and maintenance.
Furthermore, Minister Edghill stressed the importance of strengthening management systems, calling for better oversight, accountability, and streamlined workflows to ensure the plant operates as a model of efficiency within the public sector.
