Des Moines Register: The “defective work” of a Louisiana-based contractor increased the costs of and delayed a $1.9 billion fertilizer plant in southeast Iowa, according to the company constructing the plant. In response to a lawsuit against it, Orascom E&C USA claims Maintenance Enterprises conducted low-grade work on the Iowa Fertilizer Co. plant in Wever, employed insufficient manpower, repeatedly raised its costs for doing work and failed to meet deadlines.
