Mali - Ségou Niger River Bridge and Access Roads Project
This project represents a major infrastructure investment designed and constructed in the Ségou region of Mali, a critical logistics and trade hub, to eliminate transportation bottlenecks across the Niger River and connect economic activities on both sides of the river. By replacing ferry-based crossings, the project establishes a permanent, safe, and high-capacity transportation corridor. Reflecting its scale and technical capacity;
A 500-meter-long multi-span girder bridge structure, supported by 12 massive reinforced concrete piers rising from the riverbed and riverbanks,
has been constructed.
The soft, sedimentary soil structure of the Niger River posed a significant engineering challenge. To ensure foundation stability and eliminate settlement risks;
A robust foundation system consisting of numerous bored piles, each reaching depths of up to 40 meters and diameters of up to 2 meters, was implemented for each pier,
ensuring the long-term durability of the structure.
To accelerate construction progress and minimize in-river operations, a precast construction method was adopted for the superstructure. Accordingly;
Prestressed concrete girders produced at an on-site precast facility were installed using high-capacity (50-ton) tower cranes and mobile cranes through a precise and rapid assembly process,
significantly expediting project execution.
The EPC scope extends beyond the bridge itself to include full logistical integration. Within this framework;
A 10-kilometer asphalt road network and intersection system connecting local settlements and industrial zones on both riverbanks to the main arterial route
was constructed, ensuring full continuity of the logistics corridor.
Within this complex construction environment, where multiple tower cranes, excavators, concrete mixers, and dump trucks operate simultaneously, occupational health and safety measures have been implemented at the highest standards.
