We, as owner and developer of the Kawana Bay Resort, strongly condemn the practice of the concrete supplier, who, when completing their pour, either at Kawana Bay or other sites at BBC beach, washed their trucks next to the cliff at the Kawana Bay site, resulting in the cliff being stained with concrete.
We were made aware of this practice more than a year ago, and immediately ordered the supplier to stop doing this. We instantly requested that they clean the cliff to correct the damage. To ensure that this was not a continued practice, we also erected barriers to stop the suppliers from any further dumping.
Furthermore, we dedicated a specific location off-site, where these drivers could wash their trucks, without causing any damage to the environment, and to avoid a repeat of the situation.
As a result of our swift action, the supplier ceased this environmentally hazardous practice over a year ago; however, we are yet to see any resolution to the cleaning of the cliff from the supplier, although we (as the Owner) and Creative Design (as the Contractor) have made repeated requests to the supplier to do so as a matter of urgency.
We have been assured that this matter is just as vexing to the contractor, as it is to Kawana Bay and the general public. We continue to do everything we can to resolve this matter with the supplier, in the shortest possible time.
Kawana Bay Resort is committed to implementing environmental best practices in all aspects of its development, and we expect and urge all our partners to do the same, in the best interest of the State of Grenada and all of us, citizens.

Ben concrete supplies are dumping concrete waste all over grenada

The government needs to set tougher guidelines in combating these issues and to help save our environment , residents should be allowed to report any such activity to the proper authority , heavy fines should be levied and the suspension of driver’s licenses should be in acted . The company who owns the cement distribution centers should also be fined heavily or run the risk of loosing they business license .We fellow citizens are some of the worst perpetrators of illegal acts to our own country, then if a foreigner was to simply commit the same act , we display our ignorance and distain to that individual . Being a Grenadian does not give you right to do as you are please , and to do illegal dumping where you deem necessary, they need to be held accountable .
NAME THE SUPPLIER OR THECOMPANY NAME IS SUPPLIER
THEY HAVE TO BE SHAMED BECAUSE THEY DO IT EVERYWHERE
These concrete trucks are a menace. Many are driven far too fast and dangerously under pressures to deliver and earn payment. One I have particularly noted – SL 6 – driving recklessly on more than one occasion, too close to the vehicle ahead and with horn permanently blazing virtually forcing other road users to get out of the way. I would encourage people to report such driving to the employing companies and the police.
Such driving is also a cause of concrete spills on public roads that are not cleaned up and then set hard forever.
As a project owner “Kawana Bay” are resposible for this matter. They have to manage their sub suppliers. If the site team from “Kawana Bay” did their job, this would never had happened.
