Tanloaga and Bontougou Bridges: Art works executed by master

EBOMAF consistently succeeds where its competitors fail or encounter significant difficulties. All construction professionals unanimously agree that civil engineering structures are often the bane of contractors. Numerous cases confirm this, as a lack of expertise in these projects has delayed or even led to their cancellation. Mahamadou Bonkoungou is well aware of this reality in his field. To address this, he has surrounded himself with experts in the field. The proof is evident in Tanloaga and Bontougou, where two bridges, one eighty meters long and the other forty meters long, were erected with the ease of master builders.

These large-scale projects, completed in the Burkinabe company's first year in operation, continue to generate considerable positive feedback. “While we were hearing that some of our competitors were experiencing real difficulties in completing their bridges, a small team was easily constructing those in Tanloaga and Bontougou,” recalls Hamado Kourba, site manager in Dapaong.

The bridge piers, erected in such a short time on the Koudougou-Dédougou road, have already impressed the Burkinabe Prime Minister, Beyon Luc Adolphe Tiao, and his delegation during their site visit. Demonstrating proven technical skill, the structures are being built without a hitch. EBOMAF hired engineers and technicians experienced in this delicate aspect of civil engineering, bringing their expertise to bear on all the projects. This abundance of qualified human resources is an undeniable asset for successfully completing any bridge required along the road.

This is what was achieved with the extension of Boulevard des Tensoba. Many observers have forgotten that it was EBOMAF that successfully completed the development work on the Kosyam Canal, at the Presidency of Burkina Faso, and built the bridge connecting the palace to the residence ahead of schedule. The company had been called in to salvage a crucial national event: the organization of the Francophonie Summit. The dedication to the work, underpinned by the vast technical resources deployed and the expertise of the workers, contributed, in part, to the success of the grand reception hosted by the presidential couple for the Francophone community. From then on, businessman Mahamadou Bonkoungou demonstrated to the highest authorities his exemplary leadership in the construction and public works sector.

Since then, EBOMAF has forged its own path to competitiveness beyond national borders. As the company grew, particular attention was paid to acquiring equipment, especially that specifically used for constructing engineering structures. “Other contractors bought their equipment before entering the construction industry, whereas our company built up its fleet as its projects grew. Our CEO, who loves equipment, doesn't hesitate for a moment to open the purse strings, whatever the price, to acquire the necessary machinery for a construction site,” reveals Hamado Kourba. Among the machines acquired at exorbitant costs, the drilling rig eloquently demonstrates the strength of Mahamadou Bonkoungou's company in the bridge construction sector. The engineering structures on the Koudougou-Dédougou axis and those at Tangamonte (60 m), Nadongou (60 m), Tamboaga (40 m), and Ponio (80 m) on the Dapaong-Kompienga section (Burkina Faso border) will be erected using the recognized expertise of the EBOMAF Group.
