Each of the 3 cement grinding plants will also have a train loading respectively unloading station, planned, engineered and supervised by Intercem. The first train unloading station was finished in August 2017 in the Cimfaso plant in Ouagadougou.
For the professional mastering of logistical obstacles, the raw material transport was complemented by the procurement of 200 train wagons, the first 50 of which were received mid of August at the Cimfaso plant in Ouagadougou and officially inaugurated by the Minister of Transport of Burkina Faso. According to the PDG of Cim Metal Group, this project is a revolution in terms of transport of raw materials and will support the development of companies in logistics, environmental protection and of course, it will create 50 new jobs – in the unloading hall and along the maintenance system of the train route.
