Energy Infrastructure:
Powering The Sustainable Cities of the Future
From hydroelectricity to gas, energy is an essential resource, indispensable not only for our economy but also for our health, safety, and connectivity.
Energy systems keep our streetlights running, our homes warm during the winter, and power the devices that keep us connected. We depend on them to be efficient, reliable, and as sustainable as possible.
At Pomerleau, we are dedicated to advancing sustainable energy infrastructure through innovative solutions and possess a wealth of experience managing energy construction projects of all types and sizes.
Core Energy Resources: A Breakdown
In the energy sector, many options exist. Our construction company focuses on the cleanest, most eco-friendly solutions with the smallest carbon footprint—driving a better, more sustainable future. We are experts in infrastructure for:
Hydroelectricity
A clean, renewable energy source, it utilizes the movement of water to generate electricity. It stands out for its reliability, stability, and flexibility, as hydroelectric plants can adjust their output to match fluctuations in demand.
Gas Pipelines
Cleaner than other fossil fuels, like oil and coal, natural gas is an efficient power source. It is transported through pipelines, which therefore must meet strict safety standards.
Biomass
It converts organic materials like wood and agricultural waste into electricity. It offers a renewable energy alternative to fossil fuels.
Mining
A crucial sector thanks to the extraction of minerals like graphite which are essential for the production of renewable energy technologies like batteries.
Powering Through Challenges in Energy Infrastructure
Building hydroelectric plants, pipelines, and other energy infrastructure projects come with unique challenges.
From tight budgets to technical expertise requirements, along with high safety standards and environmental considerations, these are all critical elements of energy construction projects.
The management of natural resources, high-level electrical systems, and specialized equipment makes it even more crucial to have an experienced team by your side to coordinate the build from start to finish.
Energizing Tomorrow: Building for the Future
From hydroelectricity to biomass and traditional power plants—we handle it all. We build with longevity in mind, making sure we meet current needs and future demands and integrating innovative technologies for optimal results. We specialize in the construction of hydroelectric plants of all types:
Run-of-river plants which harness the natural flow of rivers, with limited storage capacity;
Reservoir plants which store water in large reservoirs, ensuring stable electricity production even during dry periods; and
Pumped storage plants which store energy by pumping water to higher elevations during low demand and releasing it during peak periods.
Our expert team also excels in the construction, and upgrading of energy transmission and distribution infrastructure, including power lines, substations, and pipelines, ensuring a safe and stable energy supply. We also have experience in the mining industry, building infrastructure that enables the extraction of valuable materials like graphite.
Our Sustainable Approach to Energy Infrastructure Construction
Sustainability is in our DNA. Each energy construction project we undertake is designed to maximize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact. We offer energy retrofit solutions for existing buildings and eco-efficient ideas for new constructions.
From the buildings themselves to our construction methods, we put sustainability first. We integrate eco-friendly materials, follow strict green protocols, reduce waste, take active measures to prevent air, water, and soil contamination, and much more.
Our experience building hydroelectric plants is a testament to our decades-long commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
Proven Results: Our Energy Infrastructure Portfolio Speaks for Itself
With decades of experience in the energy sector and a team of experts in engineering and construction, Pomerleau is a recognized leader in innovative and sustainable solutions.
Our portfolio spans diverse energy sources and regions of Canada, from hydroelectric plants in British Columbia to energy management systems in Ontario and smart grid implementations in Alberta.
Some of our notable builds are the St. Laurent Pipeline, a 250-km pipeline powering the Greater Montreal area; the Montérégie Converter Station, a substation acting as the terminal for an HVDC transmission line; the graphite mine in Matawinie; the Energy Retrofit Project in Montreal, a high-efficiency residential complex; and the Peribonka Generating Station, which features a cutoff wall 110 meters below the dam.
