The agreed settlement amount of US$48.5m (£32m) is compensation for damages incurred since the contract renegotiation in late 2011, after which works were unable to proceed as planned, leading to the eventual suspension of the works for a section of the route.
Bechtel said that it and its joint venture partner Enka have been committed to supporting the client throughout the duration of the contract.
