NHAI debars Gayatri Projects for non-performance

NHAI has declared Gayatri Projects as non-performer and has prohibited the firm from participating in the ongoing and future bids of NHAI till the defects on the current project are not completely rectified as per contract requirements.

The construction firm was engaged in four-laning of Sultanpur to Varanasi in the state of Uttar Pradesh and has repeatedly violated the conditions of the agreement. During an audit by the quality inspection team and regular inspection by NHAI officials, deficiencies in the project work were observed and were shared with the contractor for rectification.

Upon non-compliance, a show cause notice was issued to the firm. The reply given by the contractor explaining the deficiencies were found to be unsatisfactory and the same were established during visits of field officers of NHAI. Some major deficiencies in the project included:

Cracks in concrete pavement at many places
Poor progress of work and lack of safety measures on the project
Road signages and furniture missing, compromising road safety of the users

NHAI has launched a quality checking drive where all the projects are being checked by special teams of experts being sent from headquarters. The quality inspections are not only ensuring adherence to standards but also verifying compliance to contractual obligations on part of contractors and consultants.

Enforcement of such quality control measures will not only increase the accountability of contractors or concessionaires to deliver good quality national highway projects but will also go a long way to ensure safe, smooth, and seamless travel experience on the National Highways.

NHAI is committed to maintain high quality standards in highway development. Any lapses in project preparation, construction and operation shall not be tolerated, and strict action shall be taken against defaulting contractors and consultants.
