VINCI subsidiary Sogea-Satom has
been awarded two major road building projects in Cameroon for the
Public Works Ministry.
The first contract, valued at €112
million, covers upgrading a 135 km section on the RN15 between Lena
and Tibati in the centre of the country and 6.7 km of roads in the
town of Tibati. The works consist, notably, of flood-proofing
earthworks and construction of a 7m wide carriageway and shoulders,
drainage structures and five bridges, together with safety, signage
and environmental protection structures. The new corridor is 150 km
shorter than the existing road arteries. It will boost trade and
connections with Chad and Nigeria.
The second contract, valued at
€102.4 million, concerns construction of a 106 km road section
between Olama and Bigambo which will be part of the future
Provincial Road 18 (total length 271 km south-west of Yaoundé). The
works include construction of five 10 to 20 m-span bridges, 13 km
of urban roads and upgrading of 20 km of rural tracks and concrete
drainage channels. This artery is primarily intended to take heavy
vehicle freight traffic from the new deep-water port of Kribi to
Yaoundé. The project also has a social component representing 10%
of the value of the contract. It provides for construction of
classrooms, rural centres for young people and women, boreholes,
wells and playing areas, together with construction of community
and health centres along the road.
Delivery of the two projects is
scheduled for May 2020 (Lena - Tibati road) and June 2022 (
Olama-Bigambo road).
These projects will mobilise
substantial human resources on the local level. Sogea-Satom
Cameroon organised its first job forum in Douala and Yaoundé in
January 2018 to recruit more than 100 new employees. Some 90% of
Sogea-Satom employees in Africa are local hires.
Thanks to its numerous activities,
the Cameroon economy is the most diversified in Central Africa.
VINCI has completed many projects in the country, notably a water
treatment plant in Yaoundé (2014), a runway upgrade for the
international airport in Douala (2017) and, more recently, the dual
road-rail bridge over the Wouri river in Douala, the first major
engineering structure built by VINCI on the African continent.
