EBOMAF-BENIN : A large boulevard to crown Parakou-Wèwè

The final assault was launched on the Parakou-Wèwè site. The coronation of this infrastructure is currently taking place over a 9.250 km stretch in the city. To the great happiness of the inhabitants who see in it, an expression of urbanity and modernity of their city.

As a Christmas gift and end of year 2016, EBOMAF will offer the city of Parakou, one of its most beautiful boulevards through a brand new modern work:"a double floor twice two lanes on 9,250 km with a two-metre central floor (TPC). The two carriageways are 9m each and the TPC is 2m, an axis of 20 m wide in total".This section of the Parakou-Wèwè road project, which currently focuses on human, material and technical capacities, appears to be the coronation of the work on 73 km.

"The company has the latest generation equipment. She's at work day and night. Its action changes pleasantly the image of the city. Being myself in the world of work, if I make a comparison with other competing companies, there is not one who can claim to have the EBOMAF park. This augurs for a quality infrastructure that will make Parakou look better and improve road safety both at the urban level and between our city and Djougou »indicates a user.

After completion of the two other sections establishing the junction with the second lot of the Parakou-Djougou road project. EBOMAF threw his way to close the first section with diligence and quality. The completion of this tranche, mainly on the application of the bitumen that lighting, the roundabout at the airport of Touro has entered the active phase for the very near closure of the project.

After the earthmoving and gravilling, the population is now witnessing with admiration and satisfaction this final phase. This requires special and permanent attention from the company's technical team." Since the beginning of the work, it is a joy to see that the way is making the new skin done day by day by way. The works are of quality. We are pleased that the closure of the site is imminent. "enjoy a riparian in front of Radio"Brotherhood".

The installation of borders, protections, slope and other structures within the framework of sanitation are also carried out simultaneously. With regard to future public lighting, reservations are planned to allow the company involved in this task to have tubing for the wires necessary for the installation of streetlights on the 2X2 track.

"We had completed the rolling layer at Wèwè to establish the junction with the other batch of the project. The same operation is underway on this portion of 2x2 tracks crossing the Alibarka district and the localities of Tian and Touro. This phase marks the end of the roadworks. It has a width of 7 m in BB of 5 cm in thickness and a slope of 2 m in gravity. The BB is therefore carried out twice over 9,250 km i.e. on the right and left carriagewaysArouna Mohamed, Director of Works, said.

In view of the enormity of the tasks on this part, heavy equipment was deployed there as early as Monday, 5 December, to start laying the rolling layer on Wednesday, 7 December. With a rate of application of bituminous concrete (BB) of 1.5 km per day, the bitumening is carried out at high speed with the extreme guarantee of quality. This task is performed with strong detail. The countdown really started to make the closure of the site effective before the end of the year. With the positive indicators announced, compliance with the target date does not seem to suffer from any doubt." We repeat that this work will be carried out on time.

Our optimism even ran counter to the skepticism of some people who went so far as to make it seem that we had deserted the yard. It was an error of appreciation on their part. The lot that is devolved to us extends 73 km with a portion of 9,250 in 2x2 lanes. If the cumulation is made, it would amount to 83 km in total if it were to build a straight roadway. The current phase represents the aesthetic side of the roadway. It yields more than 1.5 km of BB per day in urban areas. In view of this daily performance, it goes without saying that the work will be completed before the end of this month. This will be the end-of-year gift of the EBOMAF group », reassures Arouna Mohamed, Director of Works.
