600 km Transguinéen (Simandou) railway to the port of Morebaya under construction, bauxite mining lines, Conakry suburban train.

GROUPE ARROUGÉ studies jobs in Guinea case by case: road-rail MEWPs and excavators shipped by road or sea with their certified operators, operators provided on long-distance assignment, training of local teams with AK FORMATION, as a subcontractor to French companies or in partnership with local players.

Our road-rail plant is built for 1,435 mm standard gauge; compatibility with the gauge in use in Guinea (several gauges (standard and narrow gauges)) and approval by the infrastructure manager are confirmed during the study.
