Master plans: control the risks of your future infrastructure projects

Do you have an infrastructure construction or development project in Senegal or elsewhere in the Sahel? Apave Sénégal can help you draw up rigorous plans and master plans to lay solid foundations, anticipate all risks and guarantee the feasibility of your projects in the short, medium and long term.

Why create a master plan for your infrastructure projects?

Infrastructure projects are highly complex and delicate, and must be carefully thought through and rigorously planned if they are to succeed.
Indeed, the slightest hazard can quickly have damaging consequences: budget overruns, delays, non-conformities, or even structural defects that are difficult to correct once the work has begun.

The master plan clarifies the overall vision of the project, formalizing all requirements, technical constraints, milestones and costs. It serves as a frame of reference for all stakeholders, facilitates decision-making, secures investments and improves coordination between the various players. It also helps to avoid hasty decisions, better manage available resources, anticipate future developments and control all the technical, financial, regulatory and human risks associated with the project.

Your questions about our Master Plan offer

  • What is a master plan?

    A master plan, also known as a blueprint, is a strategic document designed to clarify the long-term objectives and priorities (usually 15 to 25 years) for a structure, building or area. It enables you to plan the development of your infrastructures (buildings, road networks, urban areas, etc.) in a coherent way, in line with your vision and objectives. The master plan lists all the actions to be deployed and the resources required to achieve your objectives. It also takes into account technical, financial and regulatory constraints. In other words, it's a veritable roadmap enabling project owners (local authorities, companies, public bodies, etc.) to anticipate future needs, prioritize actions and investments, and optimize asset management and development.

  • When should a master plan be drawn up?

    It is recommended that a master plan be drawn up in advance of any major project: before the construction of a new infrastructure (road, bridge, tunnel, airport, etc.), as part of a major rehabilitation project, or even before an extension project. The master plan must be carried out right from the pre-project phase, and revised and updated regularly to adapt to technical, regulatory and financial changes.

  • What should a master plan for an infrastructure project contain?

    The master plan must detail a number of elements, including :

    • A diagnosis of the existing situation: state of infrastructures, identification of strengths, weaknesses and constraints... ;
    • A definition of short-, medium- and long-term objectives;
    • An action plan: list of works, interventions and investments to be carried out;
    • A budget estimate and financing plan;
    • The resources and skills required for the project to run smoothly;
    • An implementation schedule with the various key phases, organized in order of urgency and importance;
    • An analysis of technical, environmental and financial risks;
    • Applicable regulatory requirements and standards;
    • Monitoring indicators to steer, evaluate and adjust the project over time;
    • ...
