Ducks in a row
Ducks in a rowConnacher seems to like to use this theme in their Dog and Pony show presentations, I would hope that they will use this theme in the construction of Algar, it is my opinion that construction of the site should be much quicker than last time at pod one. Mainly because of the season start to construction. At pod one they struggled with some pretty tough weather conditions during the start of construction. At Algar.most of the civil work has been completed with ground work in place, main road, drillpads etc., from the untrained eye this should give them a quick start to early constuction goals, August to November gives them prime time to get the concrete, structural, and some mechanical systems in place before they have to struggle with the below -20?-40C when everything moves slower. They have proved in the past that its not Rocket science to "get er done", but during the construction of Pod one they had to deal with an overheated labour market along with contractor and construction equipment shortages. I would hope that this management group will be actively involved in getting this thing in "ahead of schedule and under budget" proving they are quicker and more nimble than the larger projects. I would hope that they will spend more time proving they can do it better. Managements time would be better spent working with their primary contractors on fast tracking this project than making really nice presentations with really good pie charts,quadrant charts, financial growth charts with nice little ducks on them. Its overdue for this management team to work for its shareholders with no further dilution and prove they can "get er done" ahead of schedule and below budget. then stick to their original concept of building through cash-flow at opportunistic times
