| Panama Canal modifies dry excavation tender The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) announced that it has modified the tender for the dry excavation of the new Pacific Locks access channel and extended the bid submission date to July 6, 2007. On May 7, the ACP released its tender for the dry excavation of the new Pacific Locks access channel - the first of five dry excavation projects that will link the new Post-Panamax Locks on the Pacific end of the Canal with the existing Gaillard Cut (the narrowest stretch in the Panama Canal). This project is the first construction-related expansion tender and represents approximately 16 percent of the total excavation for the new Pacific Locks access channel. The ACP expects to award the contract in July or August of 2007. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
