A Lintec CSD2500B Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plant has been producing hot mix asphalt for surfacing work on a 14.2km highway construction project in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire since 2022. The African Development Bank awarded this highway project to Energy China, following its winning tender of $78 million.
Since commissioning of the international aid project concluded at the end of September 2022, the Lintec CSD2500B Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plant continues to provide operations, affirming Energy China’s selection of the asphalt mixing plant for this critical project.
With no prior experience of Lintec & Linnhoff’s broad range of asphalt mixing plants, Energy China diligently conducted a thorough fact-finding mission, touring many African countries to understand and assess the best construction equipment needed based on the local conditions and environment.
To date, asphalt production has now passed the 50,000 tonnes mark, connecting Route d’Alépé in Abobo, one of the country’s most populated communes, with Boulevard de France in the commune of Cocody. The two-way, four-lane project aims to help alleviate significant disruption to the urban network, as a result of the city’s population doubling every seven years since 1945.
In addition, the Abidjan Y4 road project is particularly important as the country prepares for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, with the construction creating approximately 600 jobs for the local community, improving the local economy and social development.
