The pre-qualification procedures for the Main Contractor and Reserved Specialists is ongoing during the current Covid-19 restrictions.  We expect this to be completed early in Quarter 3, 2020.  It is also hoped that tender documentation will issue later in Quarter 3 2020, with a Contract expected to be in place before the end of 2020.  Construction work will take approx. 18 months to complete.
