The National Electric Power Company has announced that the repair of the crack in hydroelectric station El Cajon, awarded to the Italian company Astaldi, will now start in March.
After several delays in the project to repair the dam, the National Electricity Company (ENEE) now announced that the works will start in March so as not to affect reservoir levels, taking advantage of the summer.
After the failure of two tenders for the repair of cracks in El Cajon, the contract for approximately $30 million will be awarded directly.
Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (ENEE) has $30 million available to carry out the work."We have to look at the parameters and see if the law allows us to negotiate a contract directly. When you do not have any bidders, you take the ones that are there and follow the path with them directly," said Emil Hawitt, manager of the company.
The second tender for repairing the cracks in the El Cajon hydroelectric station has been declared void because bidders lacked the required technical ability.
This is the second time that the tender to repair the leaks in the curtain and the rocky walls of the hydroelectric station Francisco Morazán, better known as "El Cajon", has been declared void by Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (ENEE).
The administration of the Francisco Morazán reservoir announced that next March a tender will be re-launched for a project to repair cracks in the El Cajon hydroelectric dam.
Cracks in the Francisco Morazán hydroelectric station are causing state losses of over $2 million a year because of the water that is lost instead of going to the engine room.
The contract to repair the leaks in the power plant "El Cajon", which favoured the company Rodio Swissboring Centroamérica, which bid $39.5 million, has been declared unsuccessful, said the manager of the National Electricity Company (ENEE), Roberto Cardona .
The works to be completed include repair of leaks in the "El Cajon" dam that occurred after the earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale on 28th May 2009.
