The 1st phase of the Port Antonio Bypass, more than likely presents the most Geotechnical challenges to the highway project:
✅ Boundbrook Geology; Landslide & Flooding recent history.
✅ The close proximity (within 10km radius) of active earthquake epicenters with moderate earthquake magnitude since 2023…
These factors require a highly thorough data collection spanning geology (surface, sub surface), seismics, hydrology, soil mechanics and rock mechanics to name a few.
💥To skim through this phase, can prove to be immensely costly.
