The story of macca sounds stressing and describes what we can see on youtube (search Fayadan Mdiq 2010).
The uploaded pictures are taken in the last week of february and before the latest flooding of 6 march.
The first picture is behind the front blocs of AP4. The soil is sliding because of heavy rainfalls and has to be reinforced before building the remaining 5 blocs of AP4. This will certainly impact the delivery date of AP4. They kept repeating it will be June 2010 but after some discussion they admit that june is not realistic and it will be december or january 2011.
For AP5 june still seems to be realistic considering the building pace of AP1 of last year. In the pictures you can see that they started in the interior of a bloc.
For AP7 not all blocs arised from the ground so june seems impossible to me and i think decemebr or january is more realistic like AP4.
But after the heavy rainfall there is a lot of damage to repair. I questioned the cause for the damage at AP1 they answered it was the pressure to deliver and the building speed wich caused lack of quality. This is taken into consideration for the buildings in progress they said.
The damage in AP1 will be repaired as soon as the rainfall stops so this will be towards spring.
