People working on the first-floor of Honiara’s PWD Office have recently been living in the half-expectation that a leg or a foot may appear through the ceiling at any minute.
Above their heads, workmen have been installing a new second floor to house the offices of the Director and Deputy Director of Works and also the departmental engineers.
Recently the bottom half of a workman DID burst through the ceiling of the architects’ office on the first floor, after he stepped off a concrete beam on to the thin roof —and through it—while carrying two heavy coils of electrical cable.
The new floor for the PWD office will make room for accountants on the ground floor and for achitectural staff on the first floor. The department’s electrical and mechanical superintendents will then move from the ground to the first floor.
