Civil engineering and feeder roads: opening up farm production to feed the cities

Département Génie Civil CICOAGRI 03 Décembre 2025

Modern agriculture cannot be separated from civil engineering. For harvests to travel from the fields to the factories and then to consumers in the big cities, solid infrastructure is essential.

Large-span industrial metal sheds

Our civil works design office designs and assembles modular sheds in high-strength steel, able to house sorting lines, mechanical workshops and tens of thousands of bags of produce. Built to withstand tropical weather, they are durable logistics platforms.

Rehabilitating rural roads

With our graders, compactors and loaders, CICOAGRI has rehabilitated more than 120 km of farm roads in North Kivu and Kasai. Opening up these areas lets 30-tonne trucks load in the field without getting stuck, cutting transport costs by two thirds.
