properly and the documentary evidence shows that there was honeycombing in the concrete when it was uncovered following investigations.
Honeycombing in concrete is not because of wrong specifications, but because of extremely poor workmanship. It is honeycombing in the concrete
which caused the leaks not the specifications.
CHAIRMAN: Well, could I also again bring your attention to paragraph 3 on page 5. May I ask when the actual construction
