Mining ancillary infrastructures

Missions

Setec’s produced inputs in the following areas :

  • Diagnosis and spatial data analysis,
  • Definition of route scenarios and transport infrastructure capacity,
  • Key railway infrastructure characteristics,
  • Detailed mapping of the most relevant options.

Moreover, Setec trained Guinean staff for transport planning, traffic studies and socio-economic evaluation of infrastructure projects.

The Republic of Guinea owns some of the best bauxite and iron ore ressources in the world. There are many projects aimed at exploiting these mines, most of them requiring a railway and a port. The objective of the assignment is to guide the Government on understanding, laying out and deciding among relevant options to develop mining ancillary infrastructure.   The project includes:
  • the development of a rail & port infrastructure master plan,
  • policy and regulatory reform advice for PPPs in mining ancillary infrastructure development
  • capacity building
