Public Works Minister Juan Edghill on Wednesday met with the executives of the LaKa group in the Dominican Republic (DR), where he is attending the second international seminar of the country on Engineering and Geosynthetics.
This meeting included Laka Group’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Sarah Vinas, partner Micky Alter, and Commercial Director Angel Suarez. The seminar was held on February 19.
The LaKa Group is a Dominican Republic company which specialises in technological solutions for infrastructure development, with expertise spanning coastal protection, sanitary landfills, railways, mining, transportation and the oil sector. Discussions during the meeting focused on engineering innovations and the application of geosynthetic materials in modern infrastructure projects.
As part of the engagement, Edghill also participated in a site visit alongside the DR technical teams, where land reclamation works were successfully completed using geotextile materials supplied by LaKa Group.
The meeting was built on previous engagements between the LaKa group and the Government of Guyana. In 2024, Prime Minister Mark Phillips met with the LaKa Group executives at the Office of the Prime Minister, where discussions centred around potential collaboration in construction, sanitary landfill development, and coastal protection. That meeting highlighted Guyana’s interest in leveraging international expertise to support its expanding infrastructure needs.
