Project justification

Road safety, reduce travel times, facilitate trade and the movement of goods, stimulate the economic development of the region… The improvement of 109 km of road in the Upper East Region of Ghana will undoubtedly benefit more than 750,000 people directly. 

Scope of Works

The scope of works includes:

  • Reconstruction of the 109 km road, in double surface treatment, except for the first 2 km, paved with asphalt.
  • Construction of a 6 km bypass in Bawku to divert heavy vehicle traffic away from the town centre.
  • Development of three new bridges at the locations of existing bridges at Bolgatanga, Tilli and Bazua. 
Sustainability

At QGMI, we re-designed this project to respect a migratory corridor of elephants passing through the area. We rehabilitated the road according to the IFC’s Environmental and Social Performance Standards. This included conducting biodiversity surveys in key sections of the corridor by a team of researchers from the National University of Science and Technology in Kumasi and the Department of Wildlife and Rangeland Management.

This research in turn forms the basis for measures to protect species living near the corridor. Finally, we implemented some Resettlement Action Plans to adequately compensate people whose land, crops or structures need to be acquired.

Integrated Waste Management

At QGMI, we plan to adopt an integrated waste management approach, by assessing the various waste streams and adopting an approach of waste management. Our organic wastes are segregated, and a designed composter treats them. The result of the organic waste management can be applied to our reforestation projects.

Accugrade GPS Control System

We use a GPS technology to increase our productivity in earthmoving and grading processes. This Control System allows operators to grade more precisely and faster, which translates into higher productivity, lower operating costs, and a well-done work.

SAE (Electronic Monitoring System)

The Electronic Monitorig System was developed internally by the IT team, with the aim of monitoring the development of activities and working hours of workers and teams in real time, reducing access time to performance indicators for strategic decision making. The system, which is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, works via smartphone by reading QR Codes affixed to equipment and on workers’ credentials. It works even where there is no internet available, as data can be stored in the phone’s memory and transferred when there is a Wi-Fi or 4G network signal. It improves cost management, productivity control and contributes to environmental sustainability.
