Moreover, SGS will be providing auditing and quality control of materials as well as administrative and financial monitoring of the project.
The SGS Industrial Services is uniquely positioned to offer the services required for overseeing development works as its global footprint is huge and its ability to gather high calibre experts is second to none. AGEROUTE has chosen SGS because of its organizational ability, its hold on the logistics required, and its readiness for work from day one. Furthermore, SGS has decided to open a competency center in Dakar, where the new business development manager, Alain Miquel, will spearhead the growth of SGS in Western Africa and support the Geneva-based Project Management Services team in managing the tender process and in ensuring Project Coordination.
