In Burkina Faso, Terre Arm\u00e9e is involved in the construction of Ouagadougou\u2019s\u00a0northern interchange<\/strong>, creating\u00a012,000 m\u00b2 of Reinforced Earth\u00ae access ramps<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n

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.
\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>\n

The works are scheduled over\u00a036 months<\/strong>\u00a0and should be completed at the end of\u00a02018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
