The peculiarity of this Contract lies in the fact that the initial construction of the cement plant started during 2004 and halted during 2005. The site neglected with the structures of the buildings partially completed and all electromechanical equipment that was to be installed, abandoned on the site.

The Contractor was commissioned to resume and complete the interrupted civil works and carry out the installations foreseen by the original Contract by replacing or repairing damaged electromechanical equipment exposed for a long time to atmospheric degradation.

During the contract the Contractor proposed modifications to the original project which changed the general layout of the roads and some buildings but did not, however, change the final valuation of the contract.
