WEEK 49 - The final lap? (Delay = 33 weeks)

After a lot of head scratching, the crew is back on site. We've really taken a punt on their ability and commitment to finish the outstanding issues in two weeks. It's a gamble as there is still no confirmation from the local Hudevad supplier on the availability of the new vertical radiators. However, we can't continue in this state of suspended animation for much longer. The decision was, therefore, to crack on with the final stages. It's sink or swim time for the contractor. If they screw up, all hell will break loose.
