Fabrication of first formwork elements

1 October 2014 - New contracts - Cameroon

On the worksite of the second bridge over the Wouri in Douala, the first formwork element for the creation of the voussoirs has been made by a mobile joiner’s shop installed at the site in late August 2014. The slightly-curved new bridge, 760 m in length and both a road and a railway bridge, is being built by Sogea-Satom (VINCI Construction), leader, in a joint venture with Soletanche Bachy (Soletanche Freyssinet), Dodin Campenon Bernard (VINCI Construction) and Sogea TPI (VINCI Construction France). It will relieve congestion on the existing bridge, built in the 1950s.
