 II. Organization of the site

A. Building installation

Prior to the start of the project, the company will proceed with the construction of the premises as the
basis of life/support for the project after the indication and recommendations of the engineer.
This life base will be a building. The entire building will be powered by electricity networks drinking
water, telephone and a septic tank, furniture depending on their destination.
The company will ensure the caretakering and cleaning for the duration of the work.
In addition, the company will proceed to develop a base for the installation of equipment that can be
used for the work, but this land will be submitted to the engineer for approval before any
unauthorized development.
The installation will be done in stages as the work progresses and the engineer's requirements for the
project to proceed smoothly.
The company will put in place the Project Signboards needed for good visibility of the Project
The company will take over the construction laboratory which will also be equipped in accordance with
the Project requirements.

B. Execution studies

For each phase of work (Earthwork, Embankment, subbase ...) an execution sheet will be established.
This execution sheet will describe the execution methodology in as much detail as possible. The
controls to be carried out will also be defined, as well as the Hold points before and after the execution
of this phase of the work. Execution checks will be carried out by the Company's execution agents,
possibly assisted by the Company's Laboratory and Geometers. It's internal control.
Hold points are phases of work control subject to formal and written agreement of the Client or his
representative. The continuation of the work cannot take place without this agreement.
This can be: Altimeter or geotechnical reception of the bottom layer, the foundation layer or the base
layer.
 Execution Report
Based on topographical surveys, survey results and standard plans in this file, the Contractor will
establish at his own expense the completion records of each of the works to be reconstructed or
expanded. These execution files will include the errors, calculation notes and any justification, as
indicated in Article 6 of CPC Paper 1 (France) and according to technical requirements.
Projects to carry out the works will have to be submitted to the Engineer as they are developed and in
Page 2 On 21
due course to comply with the work schedule. In any event, the complete execution record of a given
work must be submitted at least 45 days before the start of the work under consideration.
For any calculations supporting the project of execution, the Company will comply with the
requirements of the following regulatory texts Content of the execution records
Each book file will include:
-1 implementation plan,
-1 longitudinal section of the structure with trial pits and the natural terrain,
-1 cross-section of the structure
-The formwork and reinforcement drawings
The reinforcement plans will include a Reinforced Steel nomenclature (type, diameter, geometry,
number, length) and a steel weight summary by type (HA or Adx) and by diameter. The Company will
have all the instruments, tools and equipment on site at all times necessary to carry out the checks
planned in accordance with this CTC.
In particular, the company will set up a geotechnical site laboratory with all the necessary equipment
for the reception tests. This laboratory will be used by the Control Mission.
Recolleation plans
At the end of the work, and within a maximum of 30 days after their provisional receipt, the Contractor
will provide the Engineer with a reproducible copy and 4 prints of the plans (longitudinal profile; Profile
cross section; As-built drawings) of the work that has actually been executed.
On these plans will be carried over the costs and altitudes of the completed road, in general and in the
modified areas, as well as the final Chainages, pavement thicknesses, locations and characteristics of
the remediation works.

III. Execution methodology

Earthworks
As indicated in the program, Earthwork will be carried out in a specific suite to remain within the
expected deadlines.
The first activity to be deployed in the Earth is that of geotechnical investigations to determine the
characteristics of the soils.
Investigations will be carried out by core drilling and possibly geophysics. The aim will be the
determination of geotechnical parameters, the possible presence of the water table and the
characterization of soil aggressiveness.

A. Execution of Cut and Fill

Page 3 On 21
The debris will be executed by the Company according to the indications of the project execution of
each linear and according to the instructions of the Engineer. The deposits shall be subject to the
engineer's approval. After stripping the vegetable soil, the materials of debris can be reused in
embankments if necessary, when their qualities meet the criteria required for materials that can be
used in embankments. As a result, during the execution of the waste, the company will inform the
Engineer of the materials encountered. For their eventual use in embankments, the Engineer's approval
will be required. All other materials that are not used in embankments will be landfilled.

4. Laying self-blocking pavers

Sand laying bed

After receiving the base layer, the Contractor will be able to proceed on the sections concerned to the
execution of the sand bed of the concrete pavers, using a sand for mortar.
The paving bed will be levelled and pre-set to the rule in the same way that a concrete cap is pulled
with the slopes for the drainage. A carefully adjusted laying bed makes it easy to lay pavers and avoids
any defects in the flatness of the final coating.
The final thickness of the bed after compaction will be four (4) centimeters. It will be as uniform as
possible or risk differential settlements, especially in case of over-thickness, or punching in case of
under thickness.
In order not to destroy the plane of the bed of laying all traffic will be prohibited.
It is specified that the paving goes down to compaction. It is therefore recommended to reserve a
compaction guard of up to 0.5 to 1 cm at the time of setting of the laying bed, a value that can be

Page 11 On 21
modified afterre-engineering of test boards.
The frequency of thickness checks is as follows:
Three (3) points (edges and axis) every five (5) linear metres of pavement. The thicknesses will be
measured under a plank of forty (40) centimeters by fifteen (15) cm, laid flat on the finished layer.
Tolerance will be more or less (± 1 cm).
Whenever the required qualities are not achieved or the thickness tolerances are exceeded, the
Contractor will be required to carry out any useful operations to remedy these failures (removal of
paving, intake, removal or replacement of materials, re-implementation, etc.).

Laying paving stones

The installation will be done with tight joints, with a 4 mm joint being allowed in each paving. Some
types of pavers with spreaders will allow for regular-width joints.
The nest will require:
5 slabs in the direction of width: 5 x (0.20 - 0.004) - 1.02 m
and 4 length slabs: 4 x (0.25 - 0.004) - 1.02 m

The implementation will be carried out by progressing diagonally. The laying worker being turned in
front of the progress of the paving, ie the poser being placed on the work already done.
Particular attention will be paid to the shoreline stalling due to the poor horizontal diffusion at these
points, vertically transmitted efforts and the presence of significant horizontal effort due to rolling
loads. This stop will be achieved by the construction of 20 cm x 30 cm reinforced concrete paving on
the banks.
The link with the shores will be done either by using special paving stones provided for this purpose, or
by cutting pavers to the banks, without having elements less than half a pavement. For the connection
with the various existing or to be built structures, visiting glances, gutter, buildings, the dimensions of
the joints and their nature will have to be similar to those of the other joints between cobblestones.
The sealing of the 0/3 sand joints, of the same type used for the sand bed, will only be done after
controlling the perfect paving. The use of a sealing mortar is prohibited.
Its good penetration into the joints will be ensured by watering and sweeping refused. The use of
dynamic compaction equipment such as lady or cylinder, with rubberized sole or rim is mandatory.
Product-appropriate compaction will be carried out to ensure the installation of the pavers and tighten
the joints. A vibrating cylinder of ten (10) tons minimum will be used. After passing the compactor, the
number of passes will be defined in agreement with the Engineer, the joints will again be clogged with
sand and the flatness constantly checked. Any pebble that can break the edges of the pavers under
compaction must be removed before compacting.

Page 12 On 21
5. Sidewalks and Kerbs

Sidewalk concrete will be a lightly reinforced concrete C25/30, dosed at least 350 kg of cement per m3,
about 10 cm thick.
The prefabricated borders are placed on a 2 cm thick M30 cement mortar and joined with the M40
mortar. All joints will be smoothed with a trowel and then with a wet sponge. They will be perfectly
aligned in plane and elevation (tolerance 3 mm). The borders are placed on a concrete sole of at least
10 cm thick and 50 cm wide, made along the entire length of the borders. A partially rear shoulder is
carried out on 2/3 of the height of the border and the width of this shoulder is 20 cm at the sole.
The borders to be implemented as part of the market will have to meet the classification of the NF EN
1340 - NF P 98-340.

D. Structures (Overpass, Drain, Box and Pipe Culverts)

Implementation
The picketing of the works will be carried out by the following company, on the one hand the
provisions indicated on the execution projects approved by the Engineer and, on the other hand, the
special instructions of the Engineer.
Foundation excavations
The excavation beds for foundations must be established at the level of healthy and supporting
ground. They will be subject to the approval of the Engineer.
The Company will carry out all the shoring, drainage and exhaustion that may prove necessary, during
the execution of the excavation, if the Company encounters hard or rocky grounds requiring the use of
special perforation or other equipment, it will advise the Engineer, who will decide whether or not to
maintain the foundation dimension fixed on the plans.
Composition of mortars
The mortars used will be two (02) types:
Mortars for small ordinary structures (heads of nozzles etc.) and joining masonry and concrete
borders. These mortars will be dosed with 325Kg cement, per cubic metre of sand implemented.
Concrete study and control
General provisions
Concrete manoeuvrability will be determined by the Abrams cone method, in accordance with the
operating procedure of NFP 18.350.

Page 13 On 21
The Company will take responsibility for carrying out the study and convenience tests in due course in
order to meet its contractual obligations relating to the turnaround time.
All performance control tests to be achieved will be carried out in accordance with market regulations.
1. Overpass
The vast majority of the Overpasses and gantries are cast insitu; however, their simple design also
makes possible a partial or total prefabrication of the work. With the exception of cases of total
prefabrication (see 4.3), usually reserved for executives of modest scope, their construction follows the
following order:
- earthworks and excavations,
- execution of foundations, consisting of Footings , piles or bars in the case of gantries, or by writing it
off in the case of frames,
- execution of the pedestals,
- execution of the apron,
- making the head walls,
- setting up drainage and filling up buried parts,
- making the transition slabs and ledges,
- finishes: installation of equipment, surfacing, waterproofing, coating and remediation of the deck.
1.1 - CAST INSITU Works
As with any concrete structure, the execution of the frame bridges and gantries is regulated by paper
65-A of the General Technical Clauses Book. Although these are simple works to make, experience
shows that hazards can occur in construction sites of this type. It therefore seems useful to recall the
most significant phases of implementation and the execution precautions that must be adopted at
each stage in order to obtain a quality work.
1.2 - Foundation Works
The execution of the foundations does not have any particular specificifications. In addition to
respecting the Client Specifications , the focus will be on:
- the proper execution of stakes when the work contains them, especially with regard to respect for
implantation tolerances;
- the execution of quality clean concrete;
- the precise implantation of the vertical irons waiting for the traps, which must also be avoided by
accidental deformation. The soles or the rooting are then concreted up to the primer of the traps,
where the first concrete resumption is located.
1.3 - Execution of the pedestals
For the execution of the traps, one will pay particular care:
- the proper maintenance of vertical steels (in the case of gantries the stirrups, supplemented by

Page 14 On 21
spreaders, should normally suffice);
- to the correct setting up of the gabion walls, immediately above the future level of the sidewalks;
- the good parallelism of the formwork and the rigidity of their layouts;;
- the careful grouting of the interior formwork, so as to avoid any loss of laitance and any burrs after
stripping;
- the use of formwork and steel spacers and supports that leave no mark on the stripped facings. In
general, we will take the usual precautions to preserve the quality of the finished surfaces
- no reinforcement left in the sidings;
- arrange the clamps under plastic tubes, cut clean after de-de-cluttering, without raging;
- concreteting of the pedestals without resumption or segregation: in particular, any fall of the
concrete from a height of more than 1.50 m is to be avoided. Compliance with the latter condition is
usually achieved by cleaning concrete windows in the outer forms (earth side) of the pedestals, or by
concreted with a chute. The second concrete resumption is at the top of the traps, at the beginning of
the corner pods. It should be noted that waiting frames bent at the top of the pedestals can be
dangerous to personnel during subsequent operations . As a result, these frames can be left vertical at
first and may not be bent until after the hanger and the frame of the crossbar have been placed in
place. In this case, the proper accuracy of the shaping in place will be ensured. Given the presence of
the support cover of the transition slab, the upper cover on a pedright may take place either below or
above these crows, the choice essentially depending on the position of the crows in relation to the top
pod primer and the design of the upper crossbar hanger (a bend linked to the forms of the pedestals or
put in place after de-de-de-forming). The most conventional and convenient arrangement, where
possible, is to match the upper level of the crows with that of the pod primer (Figure 64 b). In all cases,
the crows must be cast at the same time as the trapping part in which they are anchored, with any
vertical concrete resumption to be prohibited.
1.4 - Running the crossbar
With regard to the execution of the crossbar, the correct constitution of the hanger, which will show a
counter-flag of the order of 1, increased by the counter-arrow compensating for its own deformation.
The latter should be low, not exceeding 2 cm at the loading by fresh concrete.
Compliance with these conditions prevents any irregularity of the ridge and any excessive arching of
the spans (festooning). Also for reasons of appearance, it is essential to take care of the execution of
the forms of the sidings seen, both for the panels of the sloping sides of the slab and for the panels of
intrados, the layout of which must be very regular. In this regard, it should be noted that it is easy to
obtain an animated sub-slab with a geometric pattern by placing these panels adequately (quinconce,
checkerboard, etc.). Always in a spirit of aesthetics, the edges of intrados will be softened by
chanfreins (sticky strips in the angle of the forms). The spacing of the steels with respect to the forms
will be provided by stowage holds ("distancing" or "self-guided wedges") on an accreditation list. These
holds will have to be in sufficient number and of good resistance so as not to deform or break under
the weight of the scrap metal and the workers who make it. It is also advisable to reserve traffic routes
for these. After concrete, care will be made for the careful adjustment and treatment of the top of the
crossbar.

Page 15 On 21
1.5 - Finishing the sidings
We will finish with a careful leveling of all the cavities, in particular the pebble nests, then by a
whitewashing of the buried facings and the sanitation of these by stacking porous slabs. Any blockage
in dry stones, which generates disturbances in the adjacent embankments, should be avoided.
2. Drains
This operation involves the execution of ditches/canals of the embankment feet and those of clearing
embankment ridges, bermes, and ditches to be carried out at the ends of hydraulic crossings (Culverts)
in accordance with the execution plans and specifications.
It includes:
- the execution of excavations in land of all kinds for the creation of ditches, sorting, loading and
transporting the waste over a distance of threekilometres, unloading at the place of reuse or final
deposit, approved by the Master of Work.
The adjustment of the embankments around these ditches.
The setting of the water wire.
Connections between ditches.
All subjections.
The execution of ditches at the theoretical depths defined on the typical planes.
Unpaved trapezoidalditch.
3. Culverts
The realization of the Culvert except that for their measurement will be carried out in place of
topographical verification.
After the preparation of the land and its possible compaction with a specific control and attention of
the foundation ratings will be carried out the implantation of the foundation.
The Culvert will be made of reinforced concrete with the following succession of tasks:
- - Reinforcement and casting of the lower part of the Culvert with the waits for the recovery of the
reinforcement for the side part:
- The concrete pouring will be carried out using a mixer and a manual spreader, will be continuous if
the calculation gives this possibility or will be carried out a construction joint or achievements as will
be established in the execution studies;- The concrete will be vibrated to bring out all the water in
excess and to guarantee the homogeneity of the installation;
- After 24/48 hours, the reinforcements will be laid from the side part with the resumption of the
reinforcement for the realization of the future upper slab;
- After the construction of the frame, shuttering will be made between the two internal and external
part that will be solidarized with draughts protected by plastic pipes;
- The pouring will be carried out with a concrete pump and will be vibrated;

Page 16 On 21
-The casting will be continuous if the calculation will give this possibilityor will be carried out a joint of
construction or achievements depending on that will be established da the studies of executions.
- After stripping, the formwork for the upper slab will be prepared with contrasting formwork and
shoring on the lower slab..
- Once the formwork for the slab has been completed, the reinforcement will be placed and the
pouring will be done using a concrete pump with the same rate and system used for the other parts of
the frame.

Turn tags
The turn beacons are circular, 20 cm in diameter and 140 cm high. They are prefabricated in C350
concrete with a light assembly frame. The requirements for Title III - 3.10, relating to concrete Q350,
apply.
They are painted white with a retro-reflective red stripe at the top.
The work includes:
The installation of the beacons, in accordance with the Contractor's execution plans or according to the
Engineer's instructions. The turn beacons are placed in the outer shoulder of the curves where there is no
slide. The spacing between the beacons is between 10 and 20 m;
Security slide
The work consists of:
The installation, by sinking, in the shoulder, of the metal supports every 4 m. The support sheet must be
at least 50 cm long;
The attachment of the sliding elements, so that the upper edge is 70 cm above the shoulder;
A fine adjustment to achieve parallelism between the top edge of the slip element and the pavement;
The laying of "buried" elements at each end;
The red and white paint of the sliding elements.

Reinforced concrete safety slide

The Contractor will be careful, during the pouring of concrete, to avoid any maneuvers or provisions
that could promote the segregation of concrete.
The concrete Q 350 will be pervibrated in the mass, once the installation is finished. Only high
frequency pervibrations of nine thousand to twelve thousand cycles per minute will be approved.
The finishing of the slabs or of the horizontal concrete parts can be carried out by horizontal vibration..
The finishing of the concrete slabs or horizontal parts can be done by horizontal vibration.
In order to avoid too large withdrawals and especially for the concrete in hot weather of areas exposed
to the sun, the Entrepreneur will have to make all its arrangements to ensure the treatment of concrete.
Special products, provided for this purpose, may be used, but in any case, the Contractor will have to
submit all of these provisions to the Engineer, for approval.

manufacture, the installation arrangements and the protection envisaged.
Surfaces to the right of injuries, cuts or welds performed on site will be reconditioned.

E. PLAN ACTION QSE

The south region's landlocked project does not evade the legislative and regulatory
requirements in Senegal as well as the requirements of the donors who support the country in
the implementation of the project.

Our company in order to comply with the environmental clauses of this project, has
empowered its Quality, Hygiene-Health-Safety Environment (QSE) team to establish the PGES,
its implementation and any other steps necessary for environmental and social preservation
during the execution of the project.
The primary objectives of the QSE team will be to provide the necessary documents before the
start of the work in line with the owner and the control mission. It will ensure that the
regulatory basis for environmental preservation is applied to the implementation of this
project, namely:
- Project Environmental Compliance Conditions (Project PGES)
- environmental code under Act 2001/01 and all its implementing decrees.
- The Forest Code carried by Act 98-03.
- The Minier Code carried by Act 2016-32.
- The Water Code carried by Law 81-13.
