Services
Our engineers, technicians and associate experts work in nine fields. In each one we support the client through the whole project cycle: preliminary studies, procurement, then works supervision and acceptance.
Sheet 01 · Services
What we do
Nine fields, from civil works to training. In each one we design the infrastructure, then check that it is built as designed.
Civil works: roads and buildings
We design road links and buildings, then supervise their construction.
- Preliminary and detailed design of road links, including the Bamako outer ring road
- Supervision of road construction and paving, including dual carriageways
- Road construction drawings
- Classrooms, community health centres and social housing
- Office buildings and bank branches, as subcontractor to the architectural practice la GUEPE
Land-use planning
We plan the development of whole areas where several kinds of infrastructure have to fit together.
- Development master plans, for example over 20,000 ha in the Pekadouzou area
- Development studies for agro-pastoral plains
- Integrated rural development projects: lowlands, farming zones and related works
Urban and industrial water engineering
Water supply, sanitation and drainage in towns: we prepare the studies and supervise the works.
- Detailed design for water supply and sanitation
- Stormwater and wastewater drainage for social housing sites
- Drainage structures for urban streets, notably in Commune II of Bamako
Village and pastoral water supply
Boreholes, wells, piped water and ponds: we site the works, prepare the documents and supervise the contractors.
- Geophysical siting of boreholes and supervision of drilling, with hand pumps
- Village wells, pastoral wells, cistern wells and modern wells
- Multi-village piped water systems and simplified schemes, some of them solar-powered
- Construction of pastoral ponds
Irrigation and lowland development
Lowlands, floodplains, irrigated schemes and dams: we carry out the studies, then supervise the works.
- Feasibility studies, preliminary and detailed design, and bidding documents for lowlands and plains
- Village irrigated schemes and market-garden schemes, including pumping stations
- Controlled-flooding and full water control schemes
- Agro-silvo-pastoral and fisheries schemes, fish-farming facilities
- Dams and small dams: design updates, construction supervision, rehabilitation
- Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies for small hydropower plants
Rural infrastructure
Rural roads, river crossings, livestock and storage buildings: we design them and supervise their construction.
- Preliminary and detailed design and bidding documents for rural road networks
- Bridges, drifts and drainage structures
- Supervision of road opening, rehabilitation, spot improvement and routine mechanised maintenance
- Marking of livestock routes
- Slaughter slabs, small dairies and livestock markets
- Storage warehouses and processing buildings
Urban development
Streets, site servicing and social housing: we design urban schemes and supervise their construction.
- Servicing of social housing sites: streets and drainage
- Urban streets and urban sections of trunk roads
- Sanitation and paving of streets in Bamako
- Supervision of social housing construction
Training and awareness-raising for rural communities
We raise awareness and train rural communities, and we support the people who will use the infrastructure.
- Awareness-raising and training for local communities
- Social intermediation in water supply and sanitation projects
- Accompanying measures for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects
- Support for beneficiaries of socio-economic infrastructure
- Community mobilisation around fish-farming schemes
Training in new technologies
We train people in the software our engineers use for road design and land-use planning.
- Micro-Piste training
- AutoCAD training
Sheet 02 · How we work
How we work
We follow a project through its whole cycle, in three stages, from the first studies to the evaluation of its impacts.
- PK 0+000
Preliminary engineering studies
- Feasibility studies, diagnostic studies and master plans
- Preliminary and detailed design
- Capital and operating cost estimates
- Environmental and social impact assessments
- Awareness-raising and training for local communities
- PK 1+000
Procurement support
- Specifications and bidding documents
- Consultation of contractors
- Technical and financial finalisation of works contracts
- PK 2+000
Works supervision and acceptance
- Works management and supervision
- Project planning, scheduling and control
- Site organisation and management
- Performance checks and preparation of acceptance
- Ex post impact evaluation
Sheet 03 · Environmental and social impact assessment
Environmental and social impact assessment
We assess how a scheme affects the environment and local people: before the works, as part of the preliminary studies, and again once it is in use.
- Environmental and social impact assessments (ESIA) for development sub-projects
- ESIAs for market infrastructure and for an agro-industrial park
- Environmental and socio-economic components of engineering studies
- Ex post impact evaluation
