Cutting-edge in-situ technology. Zero capital investment.

La Fédérale brings complete fleets of GPS-guided machines, a mobile laboratory, a live digital dashboard and expert crews to every project, as one integrated service. Governments, public works agencies and local contractors build more, faster, with in-situ and polymer soil stabilization, and without buying a single machine.

One synchronized production system. The Lab Train (7) and survey drone (8) arrive first to map the ground and unlock national specifications. The Equipment Train (1–6) then stabilizes or recycles the road in a single pass, and every machine and test feeds one shared digital dashboard.

What changes on the ground

0

equipment purchases for governments, agencies and contractors

25–50%

lower road cost with ISS, SFDR and polymer in-situ technology

up to 50%

faster delivery, shorter road closures

up to 90%

less quarry material hauled to site

Typical results for in-situ recycling and stabilization, as documented by the Portland Cement Association and Sabita guideline TG2. Actual savings depend on local soils and structural design.

From CAPEX to OPEX

Stop buying machines. Start delivering results.

Equipment-as-a-Service turns a heavy capital investment into an operating service. La Fédérale brings the whole production system to the site, and our partners focus on what they do best: winning projects and building.

The old way

  • Buy or lease a fleet before the first kilometre
  • Carry heavy equipment debt at high interest rates
  • Second-hand machines, breakdowns, missing parts
  • Samples sent to a distant lab, results days later
  • Months of waiting for payment certificates
  • Machines sit idle, or leave the country after the job

With La Fédérale

  • A complete, brand-new Equipment Train, ready to work
  • No equipment purchase, no equipment debt
  • Maintenance, spare parts and technicians included
  • An independent laboratory on site, testing every layer
  • Digital proof of work, so engineers can certify in days
  • Fleet, laboratory and crews stay in the country

Built for decision-makers

One platform, six partners.

La Fédérale serves every institution that has to prepare, finance, build or supply Africa's roads.

Technology

The jobsite of the future, delivered today.

Every La Fédérale project runs on modern, connected machinery and on-site quality control.

Heavy-duty fleets, brand new

Reclaimer-stabilizers, graders, rollers, water and binder trucks, matched as one Equipment Train and sized to the job.

GPS-guided machines

3D machine control sets level and thickness to the centimetre, first time, with less rework and less material.

Telematics on every machine

Position, hours, fuel and health of each machine reported live, so maintenance happens before a breakdown.

A live digital dashboard

Kilometres built, layers tested, machine status and progress, visible to the client and the financier in real time.

A laboratory on site

Deployed ahead of construction for geotechnical road surveys, then stationed on site. An independent laboratory uses the Lab Train to design the mix from local soils and test every layer before acceptance, and to run structural and mine-site surveys.

Built for zero downtime

New machines, preventive maintenance, a strategic spares package on site, a 72–84 hour air-freight target for critical parts and trained technicians, so the train keeps moving.

Two kinds of roads, one service

New roads and reborn roads.

The same trains build new routes from local soil and bring failed asphalt roads back to life.

BEFORE: natural groundNative laterite / clay soil, weak when wetAFTER: a durable all-weather roadGravel wearing course or surface sealNative soil stabilized in place (ISS)Subgrade

Greenfield: new roads from local soil

On new routes, the Equipment Train mixes lime, cement or polymer stabilizers into the native soil where it lies and compacts it into a strong, all-weather base. High-quality gravel, polymer-stabilized and earth roads, built from local materials with far less imported aggregate.

BEFORE: a failed asphalt roadCracked, potholed asphaltWorn, contaminated baseSubgradeAFTER: rebuilt in place, in one passNew surfaceOld road recycled + stabilized (SFDR)Subgrade

Brownfield: failed roads reborn

On damaged asphalt roads, the reclaimer pulverizes the old pavement and base, adds cement, emulsion or foamed bitumen, and lays a new structural base in a single pass. Up to 100% of the old road is reused on site.

Our ambition

At least two complete equipment sets in every African country.

The plan: 48 complete trains across 24 countries by 2031. Every country needs its own modern fleet: to build high-quality gravel and stabilized roads from local soils and materials, to cut imports of aggregates, bitumen and fuel, and to keep skills and jobs at home.

  • Roads built from the ground beneath them, with local materials
  • Fewer imports, less haulage, lower emissions
  • Local crews trained on the latest machines
  • Fleets that stay in the country and keep working

Ready to roll

National roads, rural feeder networks and major corridors are financed. Our fleets are ready.

Governments and development banks have published the roads and corridors Africa will build next. La Fédérale is ready to put Equipment Trains to work on them alongside local contractors and public works agencies.

Nigeria · rural access
6,500 km

RAAMP Scale-Up (RAAMP-SU)

A US$600 million programme financed by the World Bank (US$500 million) and the Federal Government of Nigeria (US$100 million) to upgrade rural access roads, an ideal fit for stabilizing earth and gravel feeder roads in place.

World Bank, December 2024

West Africa · 5 countries
1,081 km

Abidjan–Lagos Corridor

A six-lane highway linking Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria, with its corridor authority now in place. A corridor of this scale can keep up to ten Equipment Trains working in parallel.

Ecofin Agency, June 2026

Central Africa · Cameroon & C.A.R.
1,400+ km

Douala–Bangui Economic Corridor

A US$1.12 billion World Bank programme approved in June 2026 to rebuild the route that carries over 80% of the Central African Republic's trade. Cameroon authorized its loan signing in October 2026.

Ecofin Agency, October 2026

Nigeria · private-sector roads
~500 km

Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme

Under Nigeria's tax credit scheme, major companies such as the Dangote Group are financing federal roads, including routes towards Chad and Cameroon. Ready-funded roads that need fleets now.

Public programmes, listed for information. They are not La Fédérale contracts.

Beyond roads

One model for construction, mining and industry.

Wherever Africa needs strong ground and modern machines, Equipment-as-a-Service works the same way.

Transport

Roads & corridors

National highways, trade corridors, rural feeder roads, earth and gravel roads, urban streets.

Mining

Mines & quarries

Haul roads, stockpile pads and access roads that stand up to heavy trucks all year.

Industry

Industrial platforms

Plant sites, special economic zones, warehouses and logistics yards.

Gateways

Ports & airstrips

Container yards, dry ports and airstrips built on strong, stabilized ground.

Flagship event · Abuja · 2027

African Infrastructure Leadership Summit

Ministers, road agencies, development banks, preparation and climate partners, manufacturers and contractors meet in Abuja to bring modern in-situ methods into national specifications, featuring live machine, polymer and laboratory demonstrations. Countries that commit to a bank-approved road project are offered a pre-financed geotechnical road survey.
