Yeap, going to see the tofu dreg projects worldwide.
On September 16, 2021, the Matthews Ridge dam built by GMI collapsed, causing flooding. Several inhabitants were forced to seek refuge in trees waiting for the water to recede. According to Guyanese newspaper Stabroeknews, residents had warned the company about this risk.
The unwillingness of Chinese company Guyana Manganese Inc. (GMI) to repair a dam it damaged in 2021 is sparking great controversy in Guyana. Despite receiving clear instructions from Guyanese President Irfaan Ali to repair the dam in Matthews Ridge, Northwest District Region One, which damages are severely affecting the community, GMI has yet to comply, Guyanese daily Kaieteur News reported.
“The quality of Chinese works is abysmal and is in stark contrast to the quality in the United States or Europe. They don’t even come close to reaching their standards,” Euclides Tapia, professor of International Relations at the University of Panama, told Diálogo on July 22. “There are always risks of collapse or failure in the infrastructure built by China.”
Chinese state company Sinohydro funded the Coca Codo Sinclair (CCS) Hydroelectric Power Plant in Ecuador, which was inaugurated in November 2016. An inspection of the structure in November 2018 discovered 7,600 cracks in the eight distributors that inject water into turbines. The cracks are due to the use of substandard building materials and inferior welds. The Ecuadorean government appointed German company TÜV SÜD to conduct a yearlong thorough evaluation of the plant.
“This shows the poor quality of construction in Chinese infrastructure megaprojects, six of which are hydroelectric plants,” former Ecuadorean Minister of Energy Fernando Santos told Diálogo. “If the cracks can’t be repaired, the machine chamber will have to be replaced. What starts badly ends badly.”
