Pawi Nama, head of the RN 14 control mission: "EBOMAF has sufficient equipment, in quantity and quality"

Despite the differences of view inherent to any roadworks, the task of monitoring the implementation of the RN 14 project, Koudougou-Dédougou, carried out by the Cincat international/Techni consult group does not hesitate to spread the material performance of EBOMAF. Its strike force is unanimous in this project.

The effectiveness and efficiency of the realization of the modern opening of the Mouhoun Loop on the capital via the capital of the West Central Region leave no one indifferent. Following on from the head of government who has admitted unmistakably that EBOMAF is doing good work, it is in turn the monitoring mission carried out by the Cincat International/Techni consulting group to break its right of reserve to remind the strong delegation of the high-level inspection visit on Friday 20 January that the equipment used in the project is at the cutting edge of technology. "I have regularly indicated in all my reports: the company has enough equipment in quantity and quality. All machines are practically new," said Pawi Nama, head of the control mission.

As with all road works, this task of monitoring is carried out with all its requirements and rigour on the construction site of the Koudougou-Dédougou road. In this external view of compliance with the specifications, EBOMAF responds serenely with an impressive deployment of its strike force: unmeasured equipment and installations. It works to guarantee speed qualitatively. Civil engineering activities related to earthworks, pavements, gravel works and works are carried out under the influence of equipment and men who have broken up the task of public works.

This high availability of all the necessary machinery is seen by the monitoring mission as a great asset in the implementation of the project to de-enclave the "national market". The layout of the section, the installation of other works, large works and the finishing are swallowed one after the other with an ease which is difficult to see in a national company on such a large project. There is not a visitor to the site who does not lose praise in front of the arsenal which is displayed throughout the axis to quickly open the way with the modernization recommended by its design.

Despite the traditional sometimes discordant readings between the successful firm and the structure in charge of this mission, the tandem dynamic is felt with satisfaction around material capacity. The various arms passes before the Prime Minister, Beyon Luc Adolphe Tiao, are only suggestions for a better course of work. "We only wanted the control to have more agents in the field to respond to a reorganization of work on the site," said Mahamadou Bonkoungou, CEO of the EBOMAF Group.

From the outset, this plea was endorsed by its main partner on the construction site: the monitoring mission. It already has a work expert who deals with the construction site, a geotechnical expert who monitors all that is earthwork, pavement, gravel work, construction conductors who coordinate field activities, two topographic teams and a laboratory team provided by the National Building and Public Works Laboratory (NLBTP). But its strengthening remains necessary to go quickly and well. "Our main difficulty lies in the management of the company's organisation," said Pawi Bama, head of the control mission. While welcoming the current material comfort, he also hoped that the meeting advocated by the Head of Government would serve to lift the shadow zones to give more impetus to the work by increasing performance on several fronts.
