About us
A multidisciplinary team for your major projects.
FATSONS Engineering is a Cameroonian engineering and project management consultancy founded in 2006, with its head office in Yaoundé and a branch office in Douala. We work across the whole project life cycle, from preliminary and detailed design to construction supervision.
Our engineers work for major public and private project owners, including Electricity Development Corporation (EDC), the National Electricity Transmission Company (SONATREL) and the Douala Port Authority (PAD), alongside international engineering firms such as Tractebel and Coyne et Bellier, on projects funded in particular by the World Bank and the African Development Bank (AfDB).
