The Chigumula construction project continues to take shape, with steady progress on the window and door framing stage. Over the past weeks, the welding team has been focused on fabricating and installing protectors for all windows, beginning with the largest frames.
Despite occasional delays, mainly due to intermittent load shedding, the team has remained committed to delivering quality workmanship. These electricity interruptions do not occur daily, but when they do, they temporarily slow down production. The team has consistently communicated whenever progress is affected, ensuring transparency throughout the process.
So far, the major milestones include:
- Completion of framing for all windows as previously shared
- Installation of protectors on the four largest windows
- Ongoing work on the remaining protectors, with two medium-sized and three small windows currently in progress
- Delivery of additional materials, including 20×20 square tubes (30 pieces) and 20x3mm flat bars (10 pieces), to support the next steps
- Preparation for applying red oxide primer before final paintwork at the end of the project
The coming days may still experience short delays of up to four days due to load shedding, but the team remains dedicated to maintaining high standards and showcasing every stage of progress.
Each update brings the structure closer to its final form, reflecting diligence, coordination and a commitment to quality.
More updates will follow as the framing and welding stage continues.
