The construction works, located in the heart of the city, were commissioned by the Ministry of Infrastructure who awarded the contract to Sogea-Satom (VINCI Construction International Network). The interchange is intended\u00a0to ease traffic flow<\/strong>\u00a0in this highly congested urban area.<\/p>\n Thanks to its internationally recognized expertise, Terre Arm\u00e9e France was selected to\u00a0design, supply and provide technical assistance<\/strong>\u00a0for the Reinforced Earth\u00ae access ramps for\u00a04 of the structures<\/strong>\u00a0of this interchange situated on the north-western tip of the city’s ring road. Terre Arm\u00e9e teams have been present since\u00a0early 2016<\/strong>, working on design notes and construction plans, provision of formwork, supply of precast inserts and\u00a0GeoStrap\u00ae synthetic reinforcing strips<\/strong>\u00a0as well as technical assistance for\u00a0precasting of the facing panels<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0assembly\u00a0<\/strong>of the Reinforced Earth\u00ae access ramps.<\/p>\n Located at a point where two dams meet, this project is exceptional since the Sogea-Satom teams had to drain and sanitize the entire area before building two new dams upstream and downstream of the site. The works are scheduled over\u00a036 months<\/strong>\u00a0and should be completed at the end of\u00a02018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
\nAs an integral team member for this project comprising several civil engineering structures including some on deep foundations and two over an operating rail line, Terre Arm\u00e9e plays a key role in shaping the definitive ring road for Burkina Faso\u2019s capital.<\/p>\nLocalisation<\/h2>\n<\/div>
