Closure of a clay stockpile
project outline
The mandate awarded to Groupe Alphard consisted of preparing the plans and specifications for bid and construction for the closure of a clay stockpile. Located on the CNR site in Pointe-Noire, the site forms a quadrilateral of approximately 16,500 m2 for an approximate volume of 40,000 m3 of clay. The land is elevated and sloped, and the site is bordered by a road, dike, railway and a stream. The project is part of an initiative to rehabilitate this sector, stabilize the stockpile and minimize runoff.
