Entreprise Général Mamadou KONATE or EGK is one of the few companies that participate in major state projects. In particular the construction of roads, bridges, and any construction work. EGK was created in 1994 by the Civil Engineer, Mamadou Konaté. In the beginning, the company mainly carried out subcontracting work as part of municipal projects for schools, dispensaries, small bridges. Then the company turned to the roads because there were fewer people in that niche. In 1996, EGK acquired more professional equipment and tackled public procurement.
