Whanganui business Jurgens Demolition has the contract to demolish the cement silos and attached buildings at Whanganui Port, starting in the next fortnight.
The silos were owned by Q-West Boat Builders, director Myles Fothergill said.
The company will pay for the demolition, as part of its $11 million investment in the marine precinct part of the port renewal project.
Redundancies at Bolaños Mechanical Engineering as electricity contract is terminated 5th May 2021
Employees contracted at Bolaños Mechanical Engineering Company will be entering a consultation period after the company’s contract with the Gibraltar Electricity Authority was terminated.
The announcement was made yesterday as a spokesman for No.6 Convent Place explained that Gibraltar now has an independent source of power with the capacity and infrastructure at the new LNG Power Station.
Both the GEA and the Gibraltar Government displayed their commitment in supporting these employees affected by the termination of this contract, which ends on June 30.
Unite the Union said it had been informed of the termination of the contract and the redundancies and would work to mitigate the impact on Bolaños’ employees.
