Mandate
Design mandate
Designed the preliminary-engineering (APS) program for an integrated mine-to-market logistics chain in Central Africa: mineral-port siting, railway alignment and high-voltage transmission routing structured as a single system, staged from field reconnaissance and multi-disciplinary site characterization through the global development scheme, structural sizing, execution drawings and cost estimates.
Context
Corridors fail in the gaps between disciplines. An APS program earns its keep by forcing port, rail and power to answer to one development logic from the first field visit.
Approach
The program stages the work from reconnaissance and multi-disciplinary site characterization through the global development scheme to structural sizing, execution drawings and cost estimates, with each discipline routed through the same system logic.
Standards
APS methodology (Reconnaissance, Caractérisation, Schéma d’aménagement, Dimensionnement)
