Dapaong-Ponio: The three great bridges are a reality

For having been misunderstood by the feasibility studies and tender documents, the bridges really affected the deadline set for the Dapaong-Ponio yard. The technical vigilance of the successful company, EBOMAF, ensuring that they require piles, allowed the clocks to be put on time. A whole body of expertise has been expressed so that diligently, the crossing works worthy of this name are!

Tangbamonté : 60 m, Nadougou : 60 m, Ponio : 80 m. As on RN 14 (Koudougou-Dédougou) in Burkina Faso, the Togolese road project Dapaong-Ponio is currently spreading the great control of works of art by EBOMAS. Despite the errors found in the initial technical specifications of the bridges, the latter played its partition very professionally by overcoming this inconvenience in time.

Thanks to its know-how and reputation, piled bridges are now a reality on the section after that on foundation was built. They have been erected with the human, material and technical means necessary for such civil engineering activities. They announce the end of the tunnel. With his partner,‘Keller Foundation',world leader in laying bridges, double bites have been put to meet the challenge of art works on Dapaong-Ponio.

Immediately further studies carried out as part of the reliability of crossing infrastructures; immediately a whole armada was urgently set up to begin their construction. The piles are sometimes more than 20 metres deep. One after the other, large-scale art works were brilliantly created. An irreproachable technicality and undisputed architectural beauty. This marks a crucial step in the construction. In less than two (2) years, EBOMAF has simultaneously printed its reputation on major crossing structures in Burkina Faso and Togo. Whatever their length often reaches the hundred meters, they were done brilliantly. While waiting for their opening up to traffic, it is a great source of relief in the beneficiary populations. They are delighted to see these essential works take shape. These infrastructures are at the same time synonymous with modernisation and opening up."The actual erection of bridges sounds like a real opening of the populations bordering the Dapong-Ponio axis to the world. It was really painful to join the other localities at the time of the rainy season. This is a more than commendable act that the Togolese government has just taken in this part of the country. The piles of bridges that have been erected easily convince the company of its desire to build sustainable buildings."The canton chief of Ponio is delighted.

This stage victory at the Dapaong-Ponio yard confirms EBOMAF's expertise in the erection of works of art. The bridges of Tanloaga and Dontougou, in the Savanes region, have already marked a white stone at the entrance of Mahamadou Bonkoungou's company in the BTP universe in Togo in 2007. Crossing infrastructure is guaranteed for a century. Along these eighty (80) metres, the Ponio River stands majestically on the river of the same name at the border to illustrate the mastery of this delicate activity. More than a trait of union, it is a symbol of integration. A major obstacle to free movement between Togo, Niger, Benin and Burkina Faso has just been removed. The Dapaong-Ponio strap will soon find all its ideal forklift from Nationale 1 (Lomé-Cinkansé). It makes it possible to reach the east of Burkina Faso from Kompienga, north-east Benin and Niger via Pama."We save in time, fuel and money",exclaimed a semi-trailer driver. Users leaving Niamey gain a hundred (100) kilometres.
